Indiana Fever part ways with head coach Christie Sides after two seasons
The Indiana Fever have parted ways with head coach Christie Sides after two seasons, the team announced on Saturday. Sides had a record of 33-47 and led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016. Her departure follows a 20-20 season and a first-round playoff exit. Despite recent praise from team president Kelly Krauskopf, the decision reflects a shift in the team's direction. Sides was the first coach in franchise history to earn WNBA Coach of the Month honors and developed two Rookies of the Year. The Fever will now seek a new head coach to continue their growth.
