You see this in sports all the time, the coach not seeing eye to eye with their players. I grew up here in the UK soccer culture, it's so common, it's not even controversial, especially involving 'big name' players. I couldn't imagine a soccer coach here or Europe getting fired because of 'controversial' comments they've made about their players during a press conference.

@@tudormiller887 a lot of those leagues and clubs are better established, and pay a pretty penny. This league is in a critical time of growth where a lot of ppl are watching that aren’t necessarily hardcore fans, and just like a KZread intro, if they don’t get what they want to see early enough on, they’re clicking away and never coming back. The league knows that. So imo, the only mistake here was mentioning the deep shots, as that’s pretty much THEE highlight that circulates and gets their digital impressions through the roof, etc

Coaching should be done in real games and practice. Your right she's only played 2 games. Let her start dominating the league and then she won't get called out in public. Right now she's a rookie with huge upside you can't anoint her best player in the league because she dominated in college. Not every #1 pick ends up a great player.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit that the reason for Iowa's head coaches departure was to take Indiana’s coaching position. Its a long shot but I find it mighty damn peculiar that around the same time that the Indiana coaches remarks about Caitlin, Iowa's Coach decided to resign. Just saying.

Give me a break people, you going to fire the coach for telling the truth! She’s just talking about the adjustments to the WNBA that Caitlin needs to make. She needs to move more off the ball and let the ball find her again, trust your teammates! She was also talking about the depth of some of her 3’s when she could’ve taken 2’s in rhythm!

I saw only a few attempts in the first season game to set up screens ... and they were pathetic. Clark's passes are much more effective when the receiver of those passes is prepared for it. They are reactionary instead of being proactive. Sides believes in her players running around haphazardly hoping that they get lucky. PRACTICE setting up effective screens with repetitive drills. The same with drills for proactive passes to include running to open spaces relatively free from defensive players. The Fever players camp out under or near the basket no matter if they are open or not. They need to develop quick hands and quick reactions ... that comes from drills to develop those skills. The players are capable, but the coach is not. I have seen high school teams with better offensive skills and that is Christie Sides' fault. She is not doing her job. She is using the same failed tactics that got the Fever a 13-27 win-loss record in the 2023-24 season.

Hopefully, she does get fired and get a better coach for the Indiana Fever and give high morale for the team.
The worst shot in basketball: The long two.
CC has much to learn about the pro game. Her coach calling things out in the press is low class

this coach is an atrocity...how can you trash your own player, especially someone as decorated as CC. FIRE HER.
Thanks for the post and your comments.....the coach doesn't seem to understand how Caitlin hits those threes in her career and that's not going to stop. Maybe, the coach can find work elsewhere.
You're correct. That mainly should have been a coach and player conversation.

@@chevyyyyyyy I saw only a few attempts in the first season game to set up screens ... and they were pathetic. Clark's passes are much more effective when the receiver of those passes is prepared for it. They are reactionary instead of being proactive. Sides believes in her players running around haphazardly hoping that they get lucky. PRACTICE setting up effective screens with repetitive drills. The same with drills for proactive passes to include running to open spaces relatively free from defensive players. The Fever players camp out under or near the basket no matter if they are open or not. They need to develop quick hands and quick reactions ... that comes from drills to develop those skills. The players are capable, but the coach is not. I have seen high school teams with better offensive skills and that is Christie Sides' fault. She is not doing her job. She is using the same failed tactics that got the Fever a 13-27 win-loss record in the 2023-24 season.
This not collage, and she's not the only scorer on the court
This needs to be private... The fact that it is public PLUS long twos is why I would think she should be fired.
If I was Clark, I’d just retire right now from the WNBA. Just join the BIG 3 where people appreciate you. The coach the league, the players, none of them appreciate what you bring and complain about you before you even got drafted. If they’re that jealous and unappreciative, dump them.

None of the men’s coaches who coached Magic, Bird or Jordan told them to reign in the things they did best! In fact it was the opposite! Magic and Bird went off the charts with crazy passes, Bird was given the green light to shoot at any time, wherever he was on the court, and Micheal maximized all the things he did best! Yes, they all played in a system, but that system was molded around what they did best, which ultimately translated into winning and benefited everyone on the team!

Based on what I've seen so far, all this "hate" has been correct criticism. She needs work on a few things, like ball handling, the sped of the professional game, and taking better shots. It's gonna take time for her to adjust, which is what most of the women were saying. She's been inefficient, beat off the dribble quite often, and has turned the ball over a lot. That's not hate, that's facts. I think she will get it fixed, but to act like she doesn't need coaching and doesn't need to work on things is crazy.
You are making her make decisions in .5 seconds, then her teammates gotta be ready for that quick hard pass.
Coaches in the Pros be trying to change players styles too much to fit a system instead of building the system around what the players do best..

We will 100% see Caitlin second guess herself before taking another deep three. Iowa basketball culture teaches respect for your coaches and their advice. When great shooters start to doubt whether or not they are making good choices about when to pull the trigger and shoot that ball they start to miss. I have noticed several times now when this coach has been too forthcoming with the press regarding several of the Fever players. Good coaches support their players in front of the press, guide them wisely on the court during practice and teach them with quick advice on the sidelines during games.
“You mean I have to to defend her on deep twos” “Hell, I’ll just give her that shot.”
Tell us she is jealous without telling us she is jealous.

@curtisball5107 considering that the coach is nothing but a loud mouth, hateful ass person who lost 27 games last year, literally shows that she is incapable of leading a team. Side's needs to be fired, period. There is no reason for a coach to keep throwing their players under the bus the way this Indiana Clown has done with Clark and a few others. Hell she threw Berger and Boston under the bus last year after a few loses. The problem will never be the players but the entire coaching staff and the Fever owners and management office need to get rid of them
If she is worth coaching in WNBA, she would facilitate bringing the game to her rather taking away her game. This girl has special talents that the coach needs to learn how to leverage to make the team stronger. Putting limitations on her only spell troubles for the coach.

YOU SHUT UP CHRISTIE SIDES!!!! GET OUT FROM INDIANA FEVER AS A COACH FOR THE BETTER OF THE TEAM….
Yes it could have been said it privately
The biggest "tell" of her coaching acumen was that she didn't use Clark as her primary ball handler. She will adjust to the size and better quickness she'll encounter in the league because she knows how to play and has an extremely high basketball IQ. It also stunts the chemistry they need to establish so her teammates know how to space and cut when she has the ball. Her history shows she is as effective passing the ball as she is shooting it. But it ain't gonna develop without the ball in her hands and more pace on the offense.

This isn't on a shot. Basically the coach wants to run a motion offense where the guard doesn't stand on the perimeter and go no where. Long 2 is a terrible take. Better shot selection is fine, didn't need her taking/forcing as many, but still can exist within an offense that isn't only on Clark to score/create
Dude, the deep three is the future of the WNBA. The NBA has the mind boggling dunks, crazy spinning layups and automatic threes. What you don’t see as much is the 40 foot bombs that CC hits regularly. This is where women’s basketball can evolve. The men”s game doesn’t need it but fans love seeing these women hitting threes from half court. Call it a gimmick but fans will pay to see it.

She gotta play better Defensive and stop pouting when she don’t get the call the fact of the matter is the 90% of the women in the league is better than her ? If she’s a flop blame the coach? This isn’t Iowa with double picks and screens. They put a heavy burden on Catlin and they gotta justify the money ? Don’t be surprise if her old coach pops up . She retired from lowa

If the Fever keeps Sides around it is going to be a long disastrous season. You can't back down and walk away from what she said. The player/coach chemistry isn't going to work after that.
