Indiana Fever Team President Kelly Krauskopf has issued a statement backing head coach Stephanie White after recent backlash.
Coach White tried to give DiJonai Carrington the benefit of the doubt after her Flagrant 2 foul on Sophie Cunningham against the Chicago Sky, but that angered fans who felt she didn't stand up for Sophie.
Amid a social media firestorm and rising criticism of White from fans, the Fever front office have firmly thrown their support behind their head coach.
After Coach White made a lengthy pregame statement explaining the Carrington-Cunningham situation and denouncing the rising hate within the league because of outside forces, Fever Team President Kelly Krauskopf shared a supportive statement of her own.
"Coach White has done a tremendous job leading the Fever and for the second-consecutive season, has us in a great position for a playoff push. She has kept our team focused and united, all while under the brightest spotlight our team and our league have ever experienced. She has the full support of leadership."
