This coach ALWAYS has the same comments that don't talk about specifics. Why don't the reporters ask the TOP 10 questions relating to her coaching: 1. "Why haven't you developed your game plan completely around or through CC when history Shows that the Team does better every time Caitlin is the floor general?" 2. "Why can't you teach and implement proper screening and pick and rolls to get CC open shots on a consistent basis?" 3. "Why is it that you always put a damper on Caitlin when she starts hitting a few shots? Benching her when we get on a roll" 4. "You are now halfway through the season. Why do you consistently continue to allow players to NOT play as a Team?" 5. "Why do you consistently take out players when they start meshing with CC's style of play?" 6. "Why do you SLOW the rhythm of the game when history has shown that the team can compete with any organization in the League when we RUN?" 7. "When will you admit that you have a problem with Clark getting 18-25 shots per game? Otherwise you would prepare the team to make sure that happens so the Fever can make the playoffs." 8. "We hear you talking about Defense at every interview. Why did you waive the back-to-back "Defensive Player of the Year" and then bring someone back that was slow and lethargic and lasted 2-4 minutes?"" 9. "Why do you consistently give answers that deflect from the questions that were asked?" 10. "What have you done with this team and its improvement that warrants you being their coach next year? You are giving the same answers that you were reciting from Day 1. Seems like you haven't had that big of an impact.

Yes. And glad that two rookies will be in the All-Star game. I think the USA team will be stepping-it-up. And, trying to get steals. On their transitional defense. And trying for quick baskets and blocks. A lot of quick running. A fast game, I think. With a lot of scoring, too. Passing out to the perimeter players. I think they will set-up on offense and defensive ends of the court, like it's a regular season game. So, the All-Stars will need their own game plan, too. Playing with quick offensive game style. And, getting steals. -Mike

Hey Coach, how difficult is it to tell your players to pass to CC when she's open? How difficult is it to teach them to set screens properly and catch passes like a pro? Whether you're playing run and gun, dribble drive, zone or triangle, players on a team should move the ball unselfishly. Teamwork makes the dream work. Half the season is already gone and we are past the threshold of our patience. Playoffs or no playoffs, the team needs coaching staff changes if we're to contend for titles seriously.
Dang, that’s some perspective on how young CC is. She was in high school when Covid happened 😮

Kelsey Mitchell was an All-Star last year. Why is it necessary to throw shade on her because you are a Caitlin Clark fan. I am a fan of Kelsey, Aliyah, Caitlin. and the Fever as a team. Let them continue to grow, build chemistry, respect for one another, and confidence together without taking shots at any of them.
Sides needs to learn that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity!!! There are players riding the bench that should getting playing time just for game time experience and building confidence!!! This team better come back after the break as a run and gun ball club that knows how to set hard screens and solid picks so CC can light up the scoreboard!!! The teachers pets need to learn how to pass the ball rather than take 15 seconds dribbling around for a forced shot!!! Some assists from Mitchell and Wheeler would help wonders!
I do hope they make the playoffs
Notice how there coach doesn’t have them working on anything to speak of
Nice to see Caitlin relaxed and smiling.
I really love Kelsey’s personality! She’s a helluva player.
A ruptured eardrum can play havoc with balance. Hopefully, they are doing everything possible to ensure that it is healing properly. It can't be a good thing to be getting banged around either. Thankfully, they get some break although the All Star appearance will interrupt that. We may not get the full Caitlin in this league until next year.

2:24 Whether Team USA pours it on or not, I'm sure it will still be more competitive than NBA all-star games.
I'm talking about the best dynastic duos - Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. Just the most famous NBA duo included Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Kobe and Shaq, Karl Malone and John Stockton, list goes on.
You have CC on your team, a generational talent, please hire a real coach able to help her develop her habilities to the maximum, not this junior high school level coaching staff.

I love AB interviews, she's gives off positive vibes.
When I stop and think about it; 3 Allstars! One would think their record would be at least 50% wins. However the NBA proves you can have a liad of talent but doesn't matter unless the chemistry is there. This team needs chemistry. Don't know if this coach can jell that or if it's going to take a new coach.

do you think the schedule makers might have executed some personal agendas when they made out the schedule.

Yeah that seems fair.
Love these ladies. Hope they have a good game against the Liberty.

She's be a great coach in 20-25 years.
There is normally no sefense played in these all star games and you dan tell by the enormous point totals from previous years.

No matter what you think of sides She understands whats happening when she consistently says she draws so much attenton she is right and this leads to open shots for others. She has to have a screen set to get in the bathroom The best defenders in the world can shut down one player She is going to have to get some of points off the break before teams have a chance to match up in the open floor Her numbers are actually amazing but everyone has fallen in love with the logo three including CC herself. She has a sweet midrange jumper that she has abandoned after college. If you didnt follow her career you might think she doesnt have that. WNBA record fastest player in history with 300 points,100 assists and 100 rebounds.
