Indiana Fever All-Star guard Caitlin Clark and head coach Stephanie White must be experiencing déjà vu.
On May 30, Clark and White were caught on camera in the midst of an intense sideline spat. Two days later, Clark put to bed any delusions of a rocky relationship.
"It's just another example of what everybody, all of you, want to blow up and make something that is just lost and not in reality," Clark said, in part, at the time, per ESPN's Kareem Copeland. "When I got hurt at the Connecticut game last year, I bawled in Steph's arms. That's somebody I will ride for for the rest of my life. People that just sit on their phones all day, they don't see those moments."
Fast forward a little over two months. Last Saturday, White came under fire again for her completely rational ******* sment of Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington's Flagrant 2 foul on Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. The media mania spun so far out of control that Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith publicly called for White's job.
Come Tuesday night, the Fever hosted the New York Liberty. White used her pregame press conference to deliver a passionate speech directed at "an online community that's trying to create narratives that simply don't exist."
