Caitlin Clark's WNBA Coach Is Stepping Away From Team
Caitlin Clark's WNBA Coach Is Stepping Away From Team originally appeared on The Spun. As if this week couldn't get any crazier for the WNBA right now, the head coach of Caitlin Clark's team is suddenly stepping away. Advertisement On Thursday, the Indiana Fever announced that head coach Stephanie White will be stepping away ahead of tonight's game against the Golden State Valkyries to attend to "a personal matter." White is in her second stint with the Fever, having previously coached the team from 2011 to 2016, first as an assistant and then as a head coach. In her absence, Austin Kelly will serve as acting head coach and was in charge of Thursday's shootaround. Kelly has been one of White's top assistants since they worked together on the Connecticut Sun. "It's going to be the same. I think we are an extension of each other," Kelly told reporters, via ESPN's Kendra Andrews. "The message is still the same that we talk about in the locker room: playing for each other, getting it done on the defensive end and then having that help fuel us on the offensive end. But the vibes are good." The timing of White's absence isn't great as the Fever are beginning a glut of games and a lengthy West Coast trip. They're currently playing five games in just eight days with a three-game trip out west starting today and ending next Tuesday. Advertisement "We're just trying to manage everything within the game and then we're going to put a lot on them to get treatment in between games," Kelly explained. "We're here, Vegas, Seattle, then back home. It's about us taking care of business on the floor, first and foremost, and looking for opportunities throughout the game to manage those minutes."

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Given how suddenly Stephanie White is stepping away we can only hope that whatever it is isn't something serious. As for the team, White has led them to a 6-5 start on the season. Last year they didn't get above .500 until the 33rd game of the year. They never rose more than two games above .500 at any point last year and they'd like to change that to be sure. Advertisement How will Caitlin Clark respond to her new interim head coach?

Caitlin Clark eager to move forward after Indiana's scuffle with Sun
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Caitlin Clark has no interest in rehashing Indiana's physical, testy win against Connecticut when she was shoved to the floor by Marina Mabrey. Mabrey's hit on Clark in Tuesday night's game was upgraded to a flagrant 2 on Wednesday. Advertisement 'I think Steph (Fever coach Stephanie White ) talked about it plenty after the last game and it is what it is, you move on,' Clark said Thursday before playing the Golden State Valkyries in her first visit to San Francisco. 'My focus is just on tonight.' Jacy Sheldon poked Clark in the eye in the third quarter and the Fever star cringed while grabbing at her face. Sheldon then chest bumped her before Clark pushed back and Mabrey got involved by bumping Clark to the floor. A sellout crowd has been anticipating Clark's stop in the Bay Area with the game circled on the calendar for the expansion team from the day the schedule was released. It comes two days after the Fever's 88-71 home win against the Sun featuring three late ejections and further discipline. Clark has been studying Stephen Curry from afar and taking notice of how the Warriors superstar deals with swarming, physical defenses and regular double teams — much like what Clark sees every night. Advertisement Part of it, she said, has been a commitment to getting stronger. She increased her weight lifting regimen coming into her second WNBA season. Clark realizes she will face a top defender and her share of hits with all attention on her. 'Steph is somebody I've watched and watched a lot of film, I try to watch as many Warriors games as I can just because I love the way he plays and there's so much I can learn from him,' she said. 'But I think when you look at Steph and something I remember from the first time I actually watched him in person is how strong he is physically. He's built, he really is. I think that also kind of showed me going into Year 2 is how much time I really needed to put into the weight room to be able to play at this level of physicality and also not get tired through the course of a game.' Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase planned to put a body on Clark at every chance to make things tougher on her, even from way out. Advertisement Clark is averaging 21.3 points and 8.7 assists while shooting 40% from 3-point range. 'Obviously you've got to pick her up higher, she shoots from the logo so you can't pick her up at the logo just because again that's a super comfortable shot,' Nakase said. 'It's almost like a layup to her. You'll see her going to her left so we've just got to be aware.' ___ AP WNBA: Janie Mccauley, The Associated Press

Sophie Cunningham, Marina Mabrey avoid suspensions after Fever-Sun clash
The post Sophie Cunningham, Marina Mabrey avoid suspensions after Fever-Sun clash appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever are becoming appointment television in the WNBA. Indiana defeated Connecticut 88-71 on Tuesday night in a hotly contested game. A late hit on Caitlin Clark by Marina Mabrey caused emotions to reach a boiling point. They eventually boiled over in the fourth quarter, leading to a brawl that ended with three players ejected. Advertisement The WNBA responded on Wednesday by issuing additional discipline. Marina Mabrey's technical foul has been upgraded to a flagrant 2 per ESPN's Alexa Philippou. All flagrant 2 fouls come with a standard fine. Additionally, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was fined separately for her hard foul on Jacy Sheldon in the closing minutes of the game. The WNBA did not issue any suspensions stemming from last night's game. The brawl at the end of Tuesday's game has resulted in plenty of takes among the media. It will be interesting to see where each team's heads are at when the Fever and Sun play each other next on July 15th. Stephanie White, Caitlin Clark respond after Fever's heated win against the Sun Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images Everyone seemed to have a different reaction following the altercations during Tuesday's big game. Advertisement Clark was calm during her postgame interview, making it clear that she only wanted to talk about basketball. 'I'm here to play basketball. My game's gonna talk and that's all that really matters,' Clark said. 'I love this game, and I'm gonna give it everything I have. I think that's what competitors do. You just step right back up to the challenge.' Meanwhile, Fever coach Stephanie White took a different approach. She took the issue head on, blaming officiating for letting the situation get out of hand. 'Everybody's getting better — except the officials,' White said. White also declared that she started getting in the referee's ear about the physicality of the game during the first quarter. Advertisement 'I started talking to the officials in the first quarter, and we knew this was going to happen. You could tell it was going to happen. So they got to get control of it. They got to be better,' White concluded. White may feel vindicated that the league upgraded Mabrey's foul to a flagrant 2. But that doesn't erase her issues with the W's officiating. Next up for the Fever is a three-game road trip on the west coast. It begins with Indiana's first ever game against Golden State on Thursday night.
