Usually, when you have a team that is consistently bad, it’s the coaches and upper staff that are at fault.

What! I was coaching Basketball, Baseball and Track probably before most of you were born and it is not always the coaches fault( even though I don't think the coach is very good ) sometimes the team just has extremely bad luck no matter how good you are. From what I can see the coach has no insite when it comes to each player's' abilities. Take Boston for example it doesn't matter what she did last year because she came in in great condition as it was only a few weeks after her college season BUT this year there was no college season and she did a really poor job of getting herself into condition. L.Hall has what I call a perfect body for Basketball BUT she just doesn't shoot enough. I think she is afraid that if she misses she will be taken out of the game. The coach also has another really good player on the bench that she refuses to use and that player is G. Berger. Anyway there are other things that could help this team and here are a few examples: #1: Get Boston into shape. #2: make Hall shoot more as she has a pretty good shot. # 3: Make Samuelson get some rebounds because she plays an average of 21.23 MPG and only gets 2 RPG, not good at all for the amount of time in the game plus in 5 games she has no Stl's, no Blk's and even though she has NO turnovers which is a good thing it tells me that she either shoots as soon as she gets the ball or passes it. She looks like someone that doesn't like to mix it up. The whole team needs to help C.C. out more because they keep double teaming her so instead of getting her two screens they need to set 3. Also when a PG get's the second or even the third most RPG almost every game there is a really big flaw and the coach should have seen this after the second or third game. I just don't think the coach has the experience to be a head coach. I'm not putting her down I'm just saying that some people are just not cut out to be a head coach but would make a great assistant coach.

The Fever is one coach away from being a great team!

And one really good rebounder.

Just look at the facts regarding C. Sides: last year the Fever only won 13 games. In the offseason the Fever get the #1 pick and arguably the greatest female player ever in Caitlin Clark and yet this season the Fever have yet to win a game! Any other team would have gotten rid of Sides long ago! In post-game losses Sides keeps saying "we need to figure this out or figure that out" to which I say, you are the damn coach! It's up to you to figure this stuff out and if you can't figure it out, you need to be replaced! PERIOD!

Sides is trying her best, but she is out of her depth.

Come on. Sides is really a no good coach. She should be replaced while still early. Her coaching style is really damaging the morale of her players and the fans too. Its too hard to swallow a 5 consecutive defeats.

This coach is obviously not a good enough coach. She is not ready for this level. Look at the way the entire team plays on the floor. It is NOT organized on defense especially. Nop one seems to know what they are supposed to do or who to guard.. really pathetic.

Coach Sides personnel line ups, constantly returning to push the ball to the low post, and not creating off ball screens (players just standing around watching the ball handler) is difficult to understand.

Pushing the ball to a unsuccessful Low post.. you can't do a pick and roll or a give and go when nobody's moving..

Game #2 was the worst of the bunch. Caitlin was not playing point guard and the team had no direction. Very few assists and no designed plays. Boston appears to struggle and appears out of shape. Playing the two best teams in the league for the first four games did not help in the team's confidence.

This coach is just flat out blowing the chance the WNBA has to be relevant. I never watched the WNBA, but have followed Clark’s first 5 games. Gotta say, I’ve seen enough. Such an emotional train wreck by the Indiana Fever and their entire organization. Choked a big opportunity. I don’t ever want to hear Clark’s name mentioned in the same sentence as Pete Maravich again.

​@@dualraysyou bozos fail to understand it takes time for a team of youngsters that have never played together to mesh into one functioning unit! Pro Tip: Stop listening to that voice in your head. It belongs to a fool! 🙄

Lebron James rookie season the Cavaliers went 33 Wins and 46 Losses, so If the Indiana Fever can do at least 16-23 it's the equivalent of Lebran and the NBA since they play double the games. Caitlin can't carry the Team, also even if they lose and her numbers are up is what counts, she will be fine and people need to just stop all the hating on her.

Ppl just started noticing the coach now. Indiana Fever played bad last year too. Some plays are definitely questionable and it does seem like CC is second guessing herself a lot on the court. In college, some of these 3s she would shoot no hesitation. Imagine telling a player they have .5 sec to make a descison off screens. Oh wait, the coach did lol

The coach is inept. She has no idea how to use the players she has

I AGREE THE COACH ISNT DOING THE TEAM AS SHE DOENT KNOW HOW TO USE ''''CC''' SHE NEEDS MORE PICKS SO SHE CAN SHOOT THE 3'S

She also owns the most points scored by men or women in college

Boston came into the season out of shape. Sides is trying to fit her offensive scheme to her players instead of finding an offensive to compliment her players. Sides doesn’t seem to be very good at game coaching

Pulling Clark in the 3rd just as she was getting hot was ridiculous. What am I missing Dual? Does Boston look out of shape? Seems slow, no ups to get a rebound? How about giving Hull more pt? Should Kelsey use her quickness and dish the ball out to shooters instead of drawing contact that the refs are not calling. Her lay ups and tear drops can't finish because of all the contact. Caitlin has got to find her three point shot. This team is better than their record. Not a homer, new to the league. What am I missing.

Indiana Fever Coach Christie Sides..., once again loses another game and another losing season ! ! * It's time for Coach Christie Sides to GO ! ! :(

So far this season Indy has lost 5 games in a 40 game season, with NO wins.....thats 12.5,% so far, how long before management does something about getting a coach who knows how to coach?

Ай бұрын

Well your right in one respect she should NOT be shooting the last shot also if I'm not mistaken she is shooting threes, what's up with that ???????

Let's face it, players win coaches lose. With that said, I saw the game and she was subbing a ton at one point. Why? The players were brought in to do foul defense. It was effective. Sides needs to get on her trees. They are missing easy shots like over 60 percent. They make half of them and they win. Non of them are showing prowess write not. Nobody wants to be the first team to lose to the fever this year.

Sides keeps making mistakes. It’s over for the fever.

i have one considerable question; why are there no men coaching in the wnba likewise women coaching in the the nba

What about all the other players that missed their layups in the 3rd and 4th quarter so there's no accountability for them now

Clark is also getting thugged out there on the court in every game and the Stevie Wonder refs are NOT calling it.

Fevers 0-5 (WNBA Eastern Conference) and Pacers 0-2 (NBA Eastern Conference Championship), my my. Both Indiana teams struggling badly.

Cannot bring the worst team to a winning team in one season.. get rid of coach and staff and start all over ... Cannot hurt given their losses so far

It is time to remove the so-called coach.

The Fever is a good team they will get better in time. If I played on a team with CC I would be nervous as hell because her fans and the media just focus on CC. CC isn’t perfect it’s just a lots of HYPE about her and her teammates may feel some kind of way. The more they play together they will get better and better together not just ONE PLAYER ✌️

Yep she messed up

All that and no RING !

all coaches face this...but so little games don't let them have much of a chance...

Their spacing is terrible. There are times when they have three players occupying basically the same offensive space. That, combined with a lazy defense is a recipe for disaster.

I suggest Sides watch how warriors coach worked with Curry.... Now about the players comment on just one trade boston... she is too slow in transition, easily scored on and she has butter fingers..... too the rest of the players: 1 play with in youselves 2 no excuse for missing layups and free throws... sometiimes games are won at the free throw line. good luck fever and for caitlin clark you go girl do what got you there.... stay away from the veterans drama.

Still loss

An answer to the last question is simple. Put Boston at Power forward as she is to slow and can't jump when she plays the Center position then replace her at Center with Tami Fagbenle as she is playing great and she can score and she also plays great Defence., My Starting line-up. PG: C.Clark 6"0"..... Back-ups-----> K.Wallace 5'11"..... E.Wheeler 5'7"..... G.Berger 6'0" SG: K. Mitchell 5'8".....Back-ups------> K.Wallace 5'11"..... G.Berger 6'0" SF: N.Smith 6' 4"..... Back-ups-----> K.L, Samuelson 6' 3".....L.Hall 6'1" PF: A. Boston 6' 5"..... Back-ups-----> D.Dantas 6'3" C: T. Fagbenle 6' 4"..... Back-ups-----> V.Saxton 6'2" The team has to many giards if you ask me. They need another big so they can start dominating rebounds.
