- Caitlin Clark's fans are increasingly calling for the resignation of Indiana Fever Women Basketball head coach over comments she made at a WNBA preseason game. Christie was asked about Caitlin Clark and the fans didn't like what she said. What was it that angered Caitlin Clark's fans that much?
#caitlinclark #indianafever #wnba2024 - Sport
Drafting a generational player #1 overall to a losing team. You build a team around Clark not have her build around a losing system. Stop hamstringing Clark's athletic ability by making her part of a losing system. The Celtics built their team around Larry Bird.
This is the smartest take on the situation.
@@fmagz2626Both of you should knock it off....Clark was a generational player in college!!!! She hasn't done a damn thing in the W except be mediocre so far...Remember when the Nation was calling Zion a generational player? How did that work out? Don't be shocked if Clark turns out to be the female Johnny Manzel😀
@@StarvingMyselfToLIFEevery negative comment about clark has 2 or 3 subscribers and has been bot idle for 2 or 3 years. Free Catlian
You are the troll version of Ryan Leaf. JP
@@StarvingMyselfToLIFEOne, I agree. They should shut up. They don't know shit.
Two, neither do you.
They can 't accept the fact that if Clark walks away from the league now, the WNBA goes back to irrelevancy.
No just casuals like you bounce faster than a fat guy eating McDonald's big Mac double trios with large fries. Stay in your lane Google avatar !! Caitlin Clark Kent 🦸 😢
I am praying she does as a reminder to them how irrelevant they really are.
And, so does she...I'm sure that would break the Nike contract...and if she left like that, in such a ego ridden bad way, her brand would suffer in general. If the Big3 contract is even on the table, it may just be removed. And, if she quit now, she definitely would not be on the Olympic team since these early games were supposed to be her "try out". CC's brand depends on being a success in the WNBA...she needs them, and they need her, and so do ALL the players, all the coaches, all the team owners, all the cities where the Fever plays. Hundreds of millions of dollars depend on CC.
It won't for me. I will gladly tune in to see Angel and Camilla.
What has she done for the WNBA yet?! Lol. Y'all sound like extreme casuals for a player that haven't proven herself in the WNBA. Y'all already sound lik LeBon fans. I know where this is going! Lmfao.
She needs the team to adapt to CC's play not CC adapt to the way the worst team in the league plays.
Clark as to make herself available off the ball. Listen to the video. This isn't a style of play. This is adapting to the fact that other players can get her the ball from the post.
Too funny, wnba is a farce, she should just retire and let the wnba just be used for comedy skits.
@@a2knyc Tell her in the locker room, not in front of the media and the whole world. What part of that context do you not understand? She can do whatever she wants in private.
@@a2knyc You adapt to great players, not the other way around, this is historically true. Magic, MJ, Kobe, Kyrie. The strong willed players are the most difficult to coach, but the rewards are great. JP
@@RealPackCat that`s also my point.. why go on public? you have training session and i think that`s best place to tell her,
Coach Sides looks lost. You don't break a super-star. You draw up plays to capitalize on her talent. Fever needs a coach that knows how to relate to a super-star.
Send Coach to the unemployment line ASAP!
CC won't say a word, she has too much class because of her upbringing.
She does her talking on the court where it counts.
❤️❤️❤️
She shouldn't say anything. It's a valid critique and nothing she should be upset about.
@@Quandryification Does your boss throw you under the bus in front of the media or the entire company? NOBODY is complaining about her coaching tips. Critique is between the player and the coach. It is not for public display to prove what a narcissist the coach can be. She has lost the respect of the team and cannot manage talented players.
What can she say????? It's the truth!!!
The advice Caitlin got when came into the Wnba was be yourself don't change and shooting logo 3's is what Caitlin is about. So if the coach is going to try and take away her shooting 3's, then Caitlin needs to talk to the owners of the team. Caitlin is the star.
If the Coach keeps MESSING WITH THE MONEY --then she gotta GO! Caitlin Clark is the MONEY!!!
But will Caitlin remain on top if they have another losing season??? She can score 50 points a game, every game, but what good is it if they lose? A healthy Paige B is only a year away from her chance at the WNBA, and Americans get bored and tired fast. Coach is too 3 in the league, and she's only pushing CC to be her greatest self.
*top 3 ( her, Dallas' coach, and Becky H). I also like Tspoon's style of coaching so far)
I think Lisa Bluder is coming in. Her retirement yesterday from Iowa was highly unexpected especially with a great class and transfer coming in. I think they're hiring her
Too late ...is too stupid to coach.
As a basketball coach, you never wanted a player to launch a 40 footer, but after watching Iowa and Clark for 2 years, I have to admit Iowa and Clark made me rethink everything! Clark and Lisa Blueder have changed Basketball forever!💚🍀
I agree, and Bluder just retired from Iowa. :( The one thing I will add is CC was doing this even entering High School. She has been at the top of the game at every level, from middle school, to High School, to Iowa. This is what makes Taurasi's comments about the WNBA being another level, particularly offensive to me. CC has dealt with this "another level" thing her entire life.
She's not in Iowa anymore wake up
@@dannyballenger3340 I don't know what you are getting at so...."Iowa" as in the Iowa Hawkeyes. Bluder (not CC) just retired as their coach...and that is a bit of a sad thing for any Hawkeye fan....regardless if CC is there or not.
@@dannyballenger3340you are ridiculous! 😂 you don’t change what makes her special and unique! You don’t take what is extraordinary and make her ordinary to fit the league that’s dying because people are so damn bored! You change your game to let her play hers! That’s what makes her fun to watch and exciting!
Shwe can launch a forty footer becasue she can routinvely make it. She has Stef Curry kinda rancge.
She does not need to resign... The League and the GM should discipline and kick her butt to the curb for disrespect of the players in front of the media. She has been a failure and a Lottery Draft coach the last 2 years and a career assistant before that. There are many organizations that have heated conversations, but they do it in the privacy of their locker rooms. This coach is way over her head and cannot manage a team with talent. She is also envious of Caitlin and cannot stand being in the shadow. She acting like a drill sergeant, as if she is going to tear Clark down and rebuild her in her own mold. This coach cannot stand the heat and the generational talent, she definitely needs to get out of the kitchen. Also, every time she speaks, she doubles down on stupid. The team needs an experienced coach who knows how to motivate talented players without throwing them under the bus at press conferences.
she threw CC under a bus before the first regular season game... keep in mind none of us have pretty much ever watched the WNBA.. not a good look for the HC career going forward
What's the O/U if she makes it through the 1st month? I bet there is a line in Vegas.
It's not that the Fever needs to adapt to Clarks play. The Fever needs to utilize and exploit the play of Clarks shooting, prowess and passing. Its coaching 101, if there is a long distance shooter that extends the floor for the defense to cover, therefore Clarks fellow players will have numerous options to contribute more than previously. Look at Iowa, no really exceptional outstanding players, including Clark. What Clark has is called basketball prowess, the ability to bring the best out in other players. Clarks long distance shooting is going to propel Indiana to the best record in the WNBA this year. Watching the Iowa games, the team did not have much height, but the floor was expanded to where guards were getting rebounds, that is what makes Clark exceptional. Don't adapt, expand on her ability to extend the court.
They will not have the best record.
All time scorer in college.. Coach “ we need to change her bad habits” lol….like what?!?!?
@@OAT86 You're assuming this coach knows what she's talking about. Last place coach two years running. CC played for the all time winningest coach in Big Ten history.
I think alot of people forget Caitlin led the ncca in assists as well as scoring , so if players are open for a better shot they better be ready for a pass!!!
and you forget that with her 1.68 assists/turnovers ratio she wasn't even in the top 40
Whoever owns the Indiana Fever you need to reel in your coach
Yes, exactly.
She BETTER build a team around her......
Get rod of coach Sides before she ruins the best thing that ever happened to the WNBA! Sides is over her head and I for one don't trust anything she says
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to not cook the goose who lays the golden eggs. The team and league should take advantage of Clark’s celebrity to raise awareness of the league. Clark earned her strips playing on Iowa not talent loaded teams like UConn, LSU SC . That’s why she has star power.
She got star power because angel taunted her and let's be real LSU wasn't stacked
They don’t have the character to accept Caitlin. She is a Caucasian woman in a Black league of Brutes.
It’s sad that CC doesn’t have the coach to get behind her! Not very smart!!!!
Tell the coach the name of the game in any pro basketball league is scoring. Coach, you have the all time college scoring leader in women's basketball. It's not that hard. Don't over think it.
You aren't much of a coach if you are "coaching" on social media. Keep that stuff in the locker room and the court.
She wasn't coaching on social media. It was in media Q&A.
@@a2knyc And she should have stood up for her players instead of literally throwing them under the bus. Give vague answers and talk about how there is always room for improvement. She needs public speaking courses before she ever opens her mouth again.
Agree, coach should keep the coaching for dah players, not reporters.
you're a fanatics too. anti-clark fanatics!
This coach should be fired immediately. Only one reason I will watch WNBA because CC.
14 buddies and I became women's' basketball fans only after watching Iowa college-level women's games during Caitlin Clark's senior year. Moreover, none of us had ever watched an WNBA game before Caitlin Clark.
@t3nosanfran803 It's University of Iowa . . . Iowa State University is not who CC played for. . . . .BIG rivalry between the 2 universities within the state . . . . fans get a little touchy when the media gets them mixed up. Hawkeye fans and Cyclones fans get a "little" territorial when it comes to their star players. CC was a Hawkeye. . . . U of IA NOT ISU.
I think they already have a replacement for Sides. Its Lisa Bluder from Iowa who just retired today, so she is ready to take over and coach this team like it should be coached!!!!!
Bluder is 63. I doubt very much she wants to move into a WNBA coaching job. She is retiring at the top. I say, good for her...she has earned it.
@@TheMonker2Couldn't agree more. She's earned her retirement and going out on top. She knows Jan will carry on her legacy and make an excellent head coach at Iowa. . . . Can't wait to see her influence next year. Lisa produced well rounded players who've gone on to become incredible young women. . . Class act!
I want to see Caitlin play her game and I don't know much about the nuances but if she dances, let her dance and do her thing. The coach definitely needs to make that clear and walk back her criticism of Caitlin. And really, she should be the happiest coach in the whole U.S.A.
She should not be criticizing caitlin to the media.She should do it in private.She is not a good coach.If she was,the Fever,would not have had the #1 pick in the draft 2 years in a row.The number one overall pick goes to the worst team.So 2 years in a row,the head coach has been terrible.She needs to go.
I am a black British man, and over here our number one sports is football (soccer). I am not really a big fan on basket ball. I occasionally watch NBA highlights every now and then.
In the last couple of months, i have been following WNBA because of CC. That tells you the pulling power of this young girl.
The ladies of WNBA must do everything in there power and rally around CC to ensure she becomes a huge success. The future/survival of WNBA rests on her success.
I’m going to watch my first wnba game ever Tuesday. If she turns Clark into a boring player it’ll probably be my last game and I’ll let you wnba purists enjoy the league.
You think anyone cares what you do on a daily basis?
@@GrayCrosby You have a gay username
@@GrayCrosby You think anyone cares what you do on a daily basis?
and how did Indiana get the first round pick? The first four picks are determined by a lottery system. The four teams with the lowest cumulative records from the past two seasons are eligible for the lottery. Christie Sides should be thanking her lucky stars she has CC and ask her for advice!
yes she should resign. Like asking Pistol Pete to change his style of play.
Sides REPEATEDLY disparages Clark every time she opens her mouth. FIRE HER.
The coach should just sit back and watch her do her normal thing during preseason to see how she should adjust the structure of the team. Definitely not voice her thoughts on to the public now.
Coach Sides should not make her coaching comments public. Also, It's one thing to try to add a mid-range game to Clark's repertoire, but it should not be addition by subtraction. Leave her long-range game alone.
well said. Maybe add a floater. Analytics says the mid range two is a bad shot over the three
@@jamesbrigham1299 The type of mid-range game I'm talking about is when Caitlin drives to the basket, but doesn't have a layup, she has her defender moving backwards, she could quickly pull up and shoot the short jump shot, which she rarely does. I think that would add to her already outstanding repertoire and get her more points and more trips to the foul line.
Stopping someone who broke every record in college basketball, men or women, including Pistol Pete Maravich, from shooting 3 pointers, will be the biggest disaster one can only imagine. There is only one reason people know Pistol Pete Maravich..Michael Jordan, Bird, …they could shoot, and score, and the public knew it.
Build the team around CC, that includes the coaches. Get on board or get gone.
Allowing CC to play her natural playing style is the best way for Indiana to have a winning season. CC will open up immense scoring opportunities with her passing prowess much less her shooting ability. She means a LOT of MONEY to Indiana if she plays CC into her best plays... The rest of her team need to learn how to handle an NBA pass...
So, would it have been right to try and change Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Pistol Pete? Let her play the way she plays, she isn't number one for no reason.
These players all adjusted their games to fit into the team's pro system. Now you trying to tell me Jordan played on the triangle offense in college.
She coached the worst team in the WNBA and now criticizes the Number One overall pick in the draft?? WTF??
Sides never should have stated what she did publicly!
Christie is a fool. Clark knows what she is doing. She should of had 15 assists. She has no habits you need to break. Extract your head. The only reason you finally for the first time in the history of the WNBA have sell out games is exactly because of the way she plays...
Using a media platform to offer constructive criticism toward a team is one thing, to single out any player turns constructive into destructive criticism!
Thank you.
That is the absolute context. So many trolls on here do not understand it is about how the coach handled a private matter and turned it into her 15 minutes of fame, no matter how notorious it made her.
@@RealPackCat No it's not. It is absolutely wrong. A "media platform" was not used. She made the comments in a media event after a game where she was asked a question...not a YT post, or X post, or whatever.
Say it behind closed doors, and not in the media.
It is now clear why Indy is a losing team. Poor coaching…. A good coach doesn’t assume to undo the best player in a generation, possibly of all time. If CC was an arrogant player who was constantly expressing how superior she is to everyone else and how everyone should bow down because she has arrived to save them, but that is exactly the opposite of what is happening. This actually describes practically every one of her critics!
I do not think Sides is trying to undermine CC of course, I just think because she is green as a HC, she doesn’t understand how to coach a unique talent.
Exactly if she don’t understand then she needs to get out and coach a high school team or something
@jonathonpalbicke6122 Well then she should be outside the arena selling bottled water not calling the teams plays..
Coach doesn’t know how to talk to the media
Throwing her players under the bus during a press conference just says she needs to be fired. The fact that she's thrown Clark under the bus twice just tells real fans that she never liked Clark in the first place.
@@thomaswakefield6889 Maybe she has the liberal woke mind virus.
Sides won 13 of 40 games last season. Doc's 3 point average was better than that.
The year before Coach Sides came, the Fever only won 5 games. She improved the team to 13 wins, with several of the losses being in very close games. She has specifically stated that she has NO intention of stopping CC from shooting long 3s. Once Kelsy Mitchell is back in the line-up, Caitlin won't be constantly double-teamed, and then she will be able to score more efficiently from distance (then Mitchell & Samuelson, both excellent 3 point shooters, will draw the defense away from CC).
Wholesome coach.. big factor for the fever...the kind of coach like her would mean nothing..becoz of her attitude. Sad that you are one of the loser.
Conditioning of mind for the healthy players while waiting some players from injury.. moral boost for the new comer.
Patience coach!!!!
@@katharineschott9125 accurate. Some of these fans are dumb
Yeah right it's the pre-season and she's acting like Caitlin Clark is not doing enough to help her team win games
Coach should have saved those comments for a private conversation.
This head coach gas to go just like Michael Jordan's first pro coach wasn't good enough for him I can't believe how she threw Caitlin under the bus she'll be gone by seasons end
Now we're all about to witness how another talent be wasted if Coach can't see a thing.. I wonder if there's anyone from the Organization told Cristie don't waste CC😂😂😂😂😂 She brings Money. She is money. Literally makes a lot of money. Look at those arenas, i heard some games were moved to bigger venues, this girl is legit money magnet.
Indiana has a coach that is either over her head or incompetent. Retaining coaches like her undermine the WNBA. The basics of team and player development is based on having each other back not back stabbing in a press conference. Nike talk to the Fever management help prevent coach Sides from ruining CC career and development for their team. Send Sides packing.
Set more picks for your three point shooter! Sides needs to give CC more support if she wants to win more games for Indy!
Players need to assist Caitlin when she is being double and triple teamed, give her an outlet.
@@dalewall3726 Kelsey Mitchell is the main 3 point threat she’s been injured.
@@TaiyouArt she was not injured last year and Indiana went 13/27. Fans avg 4k last season.
Caitlin is incomparable.
She should haave kept her comments private when speaking about a player, if its not 100% positive. That was a mistake. Pull her aside and tell her.
CC is magic🤔Mmm? Magic Clark😉!? Maybe her first act would be to make sides disappear? Let the Magic Ponytail Run!🐎
Love it!
Just another piggyback hater.
Caitlyn is intelligent/a fighter/desires to win. She will adjust her game to ensure victory. Teammates need to expect crisp passes as that is one hallmark of Caitlyn's abilities.
This coach needs to go. Is this lady crazy? Isn't the threes the reason they actually picked her up. If she wanted a two point shooter they should've drafted someone else and send Caitlin to a team that would appreciate her skills. Sorry for the Fever fans and owners. I guess she is cheap since they aren't paying her millions of dollars which she is worth. Get rid of her the coach and hire the Iowa coach. She knows what Caitlin brings to the game. Sorry for her teammates too. It is her 3's that open up the game for them. A two point shooter won't do it. I think and feel this coach doesn't know how to coach a player like her. She gotta change her coaching style. She gotta go period...
It's the first time I've ever watched WNBA because of Caitlyn Clark. Now who TF is her coach? What a Toxic place
I hear Coach Lisa Bluder is now available! 😂 and she understands fully, you let Caitlin play her game❤
Christie Side you MUST RESIGN NOW as HEAD COACH OF INDIANA FEVER
Change the coach, how about Bluder.
It would be nice, but the Fever coaching salary ain't even close to what Lisa made at Iowa...(especially since she received a bump in salary) The reason Lisa left will come out eventually...
It is bad for the coach because fans were well aware of the "144" difficulty spike that every panelist is suggesting will inhibit her dominance at the next level; however, when you start speaking like she did in the pressers after pre-season games and even dare to comment on anything except your own faults in coaching the roster up to that point, then it is laughable and a definite result of inferior coaching ability. You put that target on your back because if you have one poor showing, every single fan or critic will review the plays you called, the performance of your team, your substitutions and anything related to matchups, lineups, timeouts, and challenges that are all solely the coach's responsibility. If this is what you wish to bring on yourself; and was your goal: congratulations! Otherwise, it is definitely wrong to call out a player that has arguably been the greatest OFFENSIVE TALENT on the history of college basketball in the NCAAW history. After just one game, we all witnessed that what she CAN DO as player will translate on the next level offensively, so we have no real worry and meme'd anybody out there for having doubts or snide remarks towards her. What is common is questioning if she will be unprepared on the defensive end, and a liability and Clark was more than capable of proving herself on that end the next game. Now, we only have one question: what is the formula for winning and repeating a successful program with this "obviously" loaded team on the offensive side.
There aren't questions anymore about Clark's transition to the WNBA--she shut those down already to this point--so we are questioning how does the coach now utilize the talent and pace the talent throughout the year as a whole... Frankly, most people are noticing red flags left and right just by watching gameplans that the coach has strict control over and lineups and even offensive sets. Unless Clark is the one that comes up these makeshift lineups and play-calling, you cannot criticize a more than capable player of "how to play" the game when as a coach you have already shown how you can't coach a team with this "same roster" but adding three new players and two rookies to the mix from the last year. You are: 13 wins! You are awful! There's nothing that would be different if this same roster performed horribly under you. You have a horrible track record already set in stone.
Boston, Mitchell, Smith, Berger, Hull, Wheeler, Wallace, Saxton, and a DNP candidate are all returning players on your roster. You simply added Katie Lou, Temi as a backup center, and then two rookies: Caitlin Clark and Celeste Taylor. How do you not have ANYTHING remotely resembling any form of offensive game plan already in place for basic game-performance by now?
You should have had 4+ years of reviewing your scouting reports of Clark's games already by the time you were even eligible to draft as a top 1 pick. You probably should have been doing that the moment you failed to make any playoff push anyway. Therefore, you should already have an idea of how to calibrate your offensive potential from that to make your team a better team as a whole. Take her strengths, and adapt them to your previous gameplans and then run with those sets; adjust if they can be improved as the year progresses. There is absolutely no excuse why your team cannot score at all in the last minute of a game during a tight game. There is no excuse why your team starts -16 in a game with your starting lineup. You should have already had a concept in place for your team's identity and how it uses a player like Clark to maximize your gameplan.
Nobody on TV saw that in the second game and absolutely was outraged by your post game statements. So, now instead of looking at the win as a win, they all review the game in stretches and see that as a coach you were flabbergasted by the other team's head coach, they saw you were getting demolished in offensive play calls, they saw how incapable your lineups looked, they saw how poor some sets seemed and why there was mostly static plays going on. Contrary to the opposing team's performance, they could notice effective play calls that allowed them to scorch your defensive mismatches for a 70% field goal percentage. Only one player missed any shots, to be honest. They saw how the other coach took out their first and second string and then played the third strings. They saw the same in the previous game where your offensive outburst from Clark put you in position to break away in offense, but you couldn't run any semblance of offensive playcalling from your roster despite having like 9 returning players on your roster from last year!
It is now entirely on your shoulders to show a presentable debut of your team that people with two eye sockets can tell has three highly capable offensive players that demand attention, so defensive schemes will leave someone else open to have a free shot. As a coach, we expect some semblance of an actual play-call that exhibits that in action. We gotta see some consistency in your sets near the end of the game otherwise as a coach you are absolutely wasting the team's potential.
@Vadimony Bravo my friend.. I could not have said it better..
@@tinman1435 LOL I could said it a little shorter. - FIRE Sides... there.. saved 6 paragraghs!
Just tell the coach to shut up, And let Caitlin play basketball. damn.
I just got hired as Golden State Warriors head coach. The first thing I'm going to do is reign in Steph Curry. No more three pointers, just lay ups and 10 footers! And no dancing with the mascot. LOL
that will be the shortest coaching career on record.
I don’t think she should resign but she needs to let her play her game . For many , many reasons
Naw, that coach is cursed. she cannot lead a team, especially one with MJ, Bird, and Magic talent.
@@RealPackCat Sure she can. She just needs to ignore over zealous and protective fans.
@@TheMonker2you mean the fans who bring money to the league?
@@TheMonker2 and continue her losing record?
Coach should a saying we used in the USNAVY, “PRAISE IN PUBLIC, CRITICIZE IN PRIVATE”, CAIT is awesome, but maybe guidance is needed sometimes.
GOD BLESS
Catlin Clark moves the needle and excites fans si you don't fukk with Catlin and Christie Sides of finding that out and should be on a very very short leash
Christie Sides is Not an A-List head coach in the league; and never will be.
If Sides doesn't rethink her coaching advice, she will find herself in a dumpster fire she created !
Should the coach resign? That's absurd. Are you sports fans at all? Let the coach and players and owners get used to each other for a bit. They are figuring it out.
She better recognize who’s the generational talent
@chuckhenning6377 There is nothing to figure out fool, either you build around your star or look for another job. The lakers built a championship team around these two stars Kobe and Shaq and not the other way around
She should not criticize the way she did, “ she then dances around.” I am sure she got her warning , and will listen , or she will be gone, I am talking about the coach
Exactly. These people are idiots whining about it.
@@Mavrick4529 WHO got the warning? Clark OWNS the WNBA. +$200M new revenue Already, Chartered Flights, and the season hasn't even begun.
Now tell me again, who owns who??? BTW, A coach should never bad mouth their team to the media... As mean as Bill Belichick was, he protected and stood up for his players and never said a negative comment during a press conference.
I agree that the coach shouldn't speak criticism in public. Why would you criticise after winning the game? That's celebration time.
Clark will make you rethink everything you thought how basketball should be played, she is like Mozart and everyone else is not! Let Caitlyn be Caitlyn and go win a Championship! That coach is Mozart!😱💚🍀
Actually that coach is more like Salieri… ;)
@@scottwendt9575 lol! I know edit function not working on CZcams
its not that coach Sides angered fans, she clearly has no idea what she is dealing with. she is too inexperienced to coach at a winning level. she is a losing coach with a losing record and clearly has a losing plan to cookie cut Caitlyn.
she needs to go now! the sooner the better
I know of a former Iowa coach who is available just in case.
It's way too early for such criticism by any WNBA coach. Nevertheless, coach Sides should not be criticizing any FEVER player in any public forum. Sides has no tact nor finesse with her team.
I like CC’s “dancing” because she uses the time to analyses the lay of the land to determine weaknesses in the defense and to maneuver the adversaries to different, inferior positions before her decisive attack with her Logo 3s, this, like a skilled warrior which is why her MO brings to mind mythological Amazon female warriors who, when under misguided and weak leadership, such as the kind that Sides is providing now, did not flourish.
I do too... it shows patience and reading the floor for the opportunity that presents itself.
Can't be to hard on a coach for some comments. Benefit of doubt she meant well. Nonetheless, that's an inhouse conversation. I also heard that she threw shades at how Iowa coach did not build CC correctly.
That is a deep rooted problem with only one solution. The GM needs to coach again until she finds a replacement. Why does everyone have to tear down Caitlin to make their own miserable lives seem better. I do not remember Jordan having this problem. The difference is the great ones, had great coaches!
@@RealPackCat MJ got Doug Collins fired. 😉
That’s like LeBron James coming out of high school and then you’re like I want to change how LeBron play. No, he was draft number 1 because of is play you could have to his game you don’t need to take away from his game she can help to add thing to Clark game
Yes she should. We want to see the Caitlyn Clark show and that's it.
Reminder: Of the two preseason games, the one they won did not have much of a "Caitlin Clark Show". It's a team sport...and CC lifts the whole team, not just herself to put on a show. It does happen...but not at the expense of winning a game.
@@TheMonker2 sure, but you're missing the point. Caitlyn Clark won't sell any sneakers for Nike or sell out arenas if she doesn't continue to play the way she played at Iowa. The coach needs to either swallow her pride quick or be replaced before the hype dies down. Because once that happens, it will all be over for everyone and Coach whatever her name is will not only go back to obscurity but she'll also be jobless.
@@harpazoseason Telling CC to take .5 seconds to make her decisions is NOT telling her to not shoot logo 3's, throw full court assists, or drive to the basket. All the coach is saying is CC needs to make those decisions faster. You are taking the critique to a level it did not go to.
@@TheMonker2 watch again!
Good/great coaches build around the talent. Mediocre/poor coaches build around THEIR philosophy.
Let Clark play her style because that is what makes her great.
She should resign, sign her college coach. Fans want to see her shoot 3’s, she is responsible for thousands of new viewers, ticket sales, increased tv revenue, more money for everyone, changing a non profitable league to a profitable one, single handed, she has the power to have the coach fired. When Magic Johnson and Larry Bird changed the NBA you did not hear other players complaining about their new found wealth. These complaining players should refuse any raises because of their new found popularity. Get Real! Remember how Mia Hamm changed woman’s soccer, all the girls that benefited from her. Tell Stephen Curry to stop shooting 3’s just when basketball is attracting new viewers, tell the owners to keep losing money just when that is changing, fire that stupid coach.
You get the top pick and you start looking at changing how they play their game, surely if she was the top pick it was because of her existing skill set.
Imagine calling to fire every coach that challenges their players to be better. I for one want CC to be coached hard to reach her full potential.
Fire her immediately
Get rid of this coach she adds nothing but negativity
If you’re only watching the WNBA for one person and don’t care about the rest of the league, then you might as well not watch at all.
The state of sports is so sad that not even the coach of a team can criticize a player without facing backlash from ridiculousness fans. The coach is literally saying that she has the habit of being idle on the court and for her to be an even better player she has to break that habit.
Christie Sides criticism of Caitlyn vs. public reaction to Christie's comments. I'd say the former pales in comparison to the latter. And if I were Christie or the Fever GM, I'd be loving it. Shows a level of public interest that the franchise needs.
I don't think she should resign yet, but she should take notice. Big time pressure, if you thought that CC coming to the WNBA was pressure, it is also pressure to be the coach that is responsible for bringing one of the biggest bball talents of all time into the WNBA and be successful.
Please guys give Coach Sides a chance, we all make mistakes, please dont get her sacked, she will learn and coach Clark better.
From day 1 of media day, I didn't believe she know how to coach CC.
This coach may destroy a once in a lifetime talent.
Telling a player what to improve on is not wrong that is what coaches are supposed to do however voicing these observations in a press conference is troubling, is she implying that Clark is not listening or not responding to the coaches I mean what are fans supposed to think when she comes out and sounds upset about what she is seeing in games. A simple “she will improve as she gains more experience” would have been more appropriate. The way the coach approached this is problematic as far as I’m concerned and I don’t blame fans for overreacting. No one is lining up to watch this lady coach.
You nailed the entire conversation. But that aside... I think in this unique situation, the coach needs to listen to Caitlin and give her a very long leash, or they should not have drafted the leading all time scorer and assist leader in NCAA history. (man or woman). I also think Caitlin has earn that amount of respect. She does not have to play a single game and has already earned more than any of them will in their entire careers. It must give everyone butt hurt to know that fact,
Christie Sides is Not an A-List head coach in the league; and never will be.
Coach almost looks like she had negative words prepared. 😳
Let Caitlin shoot her shots and play her daring game! Nobody is paying to see the same old boring WNBA system! The Fever team are not featuring the Caitlin’s ability to shoot and shoot frequently! The ball just gets passed around for the required amount and someone takes a shit that is less than ideal! There are many good shot that were passed over because the required number of passes made yet. The Fever has no play to get anyone s good shit as far as I can see. The ball moves quickly but the players are not helping any teammate get an open shot.
I will sleep better knowing Reggie Miller is the coach
Like Doc Rivers had to go with the Warriors, the Fever will need to bring in someone who can manage Clark’s plus/minue contributions without stifling her.
I wouldn’t say resign but she do gotta evolve with the game
The coach can't even have a opinion.
If that be the case, then then you are right. She should resign.
So she has no comments for the other players .. as a team they did what last year?
13 wins and 4 thousand cheap tickets per game.
Iowa fans are showing how much they DON'T know about the pro level. Go back to the college ranks.
What an aweful coach lack discretion ;Keep you coaching in the gymn. Do not coach your players before the world. Resign please 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
CC IS NOT THE TEAM, can she play in a system>>>>>
If you TRY to STOP the female Steph Curry from being the female Steph Curry youre gone! 👀
Lets see how things play out. The season is just beginning!
I got the impresssion she has a little animosity toward Clark. I also get the impression she established she was in charge. That being said she is in charge and if she see's where Caitlin can improve ist her job bring it to her attention. I do understand were fans are comming from. I do think the fans should not be asking her to resign. I hope its just growing pains.
Time will tell if Clark's coach is any good. Clark will be on television enough for the world to see. Clark does have new things to learn which she admits, however can the coach get the best out of the fever with two stars on the court?
