Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White went scorched earth on her critics during a post-game presser on Tuesday night, saying she will always stand by her players and "everybody else can go to ***** !"
White spoke out in the face of heavy criticism after a hard foul on Fever star Sophie Cunningham over the weekend, when she was grabbed around the neck and thrown to the court by Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington.
Carrington was slapped with a flagrant foul and tossed from the game.
After Cunningham chided Carrington for what she called an "intentional" hit, White astonishingly appeared to take Carrington's side, saying, "I don't think that DiJonai intentionally came out to get her across the neck like she did. But it did happen, and I thought it was the right call."
The apparent failure to stick up for her own player led to intense backlash, as she was hit with boos from hometown fans ahead of Tuesday night's game against the New York Liberty.
