Indiana Fever part ways with coach Christie Sides after two seasons

The Indiana Fever have fired coach Christie Sides after two seasons, during which she had a record of 33-47. The team made the playoffs this year but was eliminated in the first round by the Connecticut Sun. Indiana is the sixth WNBA team to change coaches this offseason, joining Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Washington, and Los Angeles. All the teams that made changes had coaches with three years or less experience. The Fever's new coach will inherit a young core, including recent Rookie of the Year winners Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. The team has struggled with coaching stability, as no head coach has lasted more than three years since 2014.
