Caitlin Clark sends an emphatic two-word message about Fever’s hiring of Stephanie White

After what seemed like weeks of endless speculation, it has now become official: the Indiana Fever have hired Stephanie White as their next head coach.

This is a huge addition for the Fever as White is widely regarded as one of the best and most respected head coaches in the women’s basketball community. Not only is she respected by her peers and colleagues around the league, but current WNBA players have also given White her flowers in the past.

One of these players is Fever icon Caitlin Clark, who said of White, “She obviously called a lot of my games in college, and I just think she has a really good basketball mind,” during a Fever press conference earlier this year . .

“I think she’s done a great job calling college games… She’s a pioneer, honestly. I think she’s always been someone who has been supportive of my game, and it’s been fun talking to her during shootarounds,” Clark continued.

And it wasn’t long before Clark sent out an emphatic message about the Fever announcing their recruitment of White via social media.

Commenting on Fever’s Instagram post announcing White’s acquisition, Clark wrote: “Fevvvvv shooowwwwwww”.

The way Clark ran the Indiana offense next season reminded many basketball fans of how Magic Johnson led the iconic “Showtime Lakers” teams throughout the 1980s. Perhaps Clark’s statement “Fev(er) Show” is a sign that the franchise is destined for the same success as those legendary Lakers teams.

Considering White is considered a defensive mastermind, her inclusion could transform the Fever from an offensive juggernaut to a well-rounded, perennial WNBA championship contender.
