- Christie Sides does not trust Caitlin Clark and she let the entire team know it. That's not good going forward. Let's talk about it.
Why the F Does the media NEVER ask these questions on post game? It’s infuriating! Put Sides in the hot seat every game.
Real journalism is as common as mermaids and unicorns. Real questions lose you access, which is all that matter to these people.
The probably fear being kicked out of the room.
I’ve wondered the same.
It's not that Crusty Sides doesn't trust Clark, Crusty doesn't like her, and she has an agenda. No one can coach this badly, it is deliberate.
Crusty Sides...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Thank You for that.
Agreed.
Sides makes 500k a year. I think sides agenda is to also keep all the other players happy and what sides doesn’t get is when Clark does well the whole team does well. Mitchell had I’m not sure but maybe her highest scoring game of the year 28 points because Mitchell is a good shooter but also because Clark gave her the ball in good scoring positions. Sides needs to make the team understand that when Clark runs the show and does well they will also do well for example get Mitchell to understand that. I think sides has psychological problems usually this kind of behavior is seen with wmn. Sides doesn’t want Clark taking charge it threatening to sides authority that’s an emotional over logical thinking. If I was Clark I would ask to be traded.
Me too
If you are at a live game, start chanting Caitlin, Caitlin, Caitlin, Caitlin whenever the ball IS NOT in Caitlin's hand. Also, videos like this, email this video to all the Fever Team memebers emails and also email to all the emails of the sports writers so they are aware this is going on. It has to end as Caitlin's stats are about 30% less than they should be and Fever would have won more games if Caitlin was permitted to lead the team without interference.
Exactly. This dynamic has been obvious since day one. Bad coach gotta go.
Sides is Clark’s boss. Grabbing an employee should not be tolerated. In bb, I could see it if they were trying to prevent their player from getting into a fight or ejected, so to protect them, but not like this. Nope
Agree! Wonder if this can be used to get Fever to fire Sides, but I doubt it with GM Dunn.
@@shf4592 I think Clark could use it because it’s clear she knows basketball better than Sides, and Sides hates her for it.
@@jenniferrindahl3292if I had to guess Katie Lou - Geno, Lexie - Tara , Smith - Mulkey, Mitchell - Kevin McGuff ….. and Caitlin with Bluder as her college coach … all of them know more basketball than Sides! Sides is definitely intimidated by Clark .
@@shf4592politics is hurting the team.
@@Starstrucknut 100%. We’ve seen some of their expressions on Sides’ drawn up plays.
Sides doesn't trust her because she KNOWS Clark could run this team better without Sides even on the bench!!!!
I didn’t want to believe this was true for the longest time. You're taught to always respect the coach. But I'm seeing it.
Truly!!! Let Clark being Clark!
There's no way Clark can stick with this for 4 years
CC wins any game of chicken and keeps her hands clean. She owes nothing to the W.
I think by the end of this season, Caitlin will have enough credibility through her play and her value to the WNBA to pretty much name her terms moving forward, including demanding a change in head coach or a trade. Whether or not she’d pull that trigger is another debate. She is after all a very nice person.
@@Primus54 Dunn is a good friend of Sides......That is a problem.
@@1flash3571Dunn is a problem in herself
@@Primus54Caitlin is a nice person, but she's Not this sweet little wuss that some people might think she is. She's on a Mission - lol!
She's a fierce competitor, she has a Strong mind, and she has strong support from her parents who are very involved in her game. She also has a manager.
Then, she's got Nike, Wilson, Gatorade, Etc - Hopefully behind her!
I think the women's game is set up differently than the men's involving trades, and things like that. I thought I'd heard that the women can't just change teams as easily as the men. I might be wrong on that. It's obvious that the Owner's don't care about the wnba, like the nba, cuz they don't bring in as much money. But, Clark is different in the type of revenue she brings in. I don't know, just my thoughts!
how painful it must be for Clark to take orders from Sides.
Sides looks like she is a heavy drinker. And yeah, it must be painful for Caitlin to take orders from a person who doesn't have 0ne-fith of her talent, intelligence, class, or achievements.
Sides is disgusting. Even the arm grab is gross. I'm surprised Clark didn't jerk free from her grip. Undermining your best player AMD star leading the team. Sides needs to be ex- communicated
@@M.V.C-bg9sp lollol lol
Mitchell can run around in circles for a minute but CC can't call for a pick lol got it 😂
This wasn't about Mitchell
Christy Sides has been trying all season to let the PLAYERS know that she is in control of team and it's NOT Caitlin Clarks team. THAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM.
Absolutely, she's an ego freak
Absolutely....she over coaching to the point of looking foolish
Caitlin's frustrations with Sides is beginning to show. She is a fierce competitor and wants to win. She loves playing for Indiana but if Sides stays Caitlin should ask to be traded.
@@patriciataylor2124
CC 22 knows how they should be playing. Her B-ball IQ is very high. Higher than her coach I'm afraid.
Sides, wheeler and Kristy Wallace needs to go ASAP
AND SMITH!!!
Wallace never even looks at Clark during a game
@@sweetcereal967and misses wide open shots when Caitlin passes her the ball
Think she could probably do better if she worked with Caitlin
And Reeve has to go!
Today's game will be the Fever vs Sides vs The Lynx! Sides is sabotaging the Fever and she's especially sabotaging the career of Caitlin Clark!
🎯🎯🎯
Now we can see why the WNBA had such a low fan base and wasn't taken seriously as a legitimate sports organization before Caitlin. Oh, and Crusty Christy Sides is despicable!!!
No we don't. We need a coach who knows what she is doing as a coach. There is no expertise in Christy Sides bag. The team is loving it winning. The game is evolving and everyone is benefiting from her incredible passing. Someone please ask the questions we want you too.
Cant believe Sides grabbed CC
I can’t understand why Coach doesn’t want to win! Is she betting on a loss?!? Maybe she’s a control freak. It’s as if she’s trying to micromanage CC to show “who’s the boss.” Surely she can see CC can make good decisions on the spot. Her vanity means more than winning! Sad for a Coach to be like that!
Mitchell is so hot n yet cold n selfish
I've wondered the same thing. Is she betting against the team? She wants credit when the team wins but blames the team when they lose. A coach doesn't do that. I think she's very insecure being coach because Caitlin knows more about coaching than she does. It scares her.
sides little knowledge of BB is limited to old school post up/iso BB and that is miniscule at best - she has no concept of how to coach CC because she has no concept of CC's style of BB
HER EGO
@@Grandmaw438 that what I thinking too . She making deals someone calling her and telling her what to do . Listen when she talking to media . She all over the place her mind is baffling
Sides is used to losing, Clark is used to winning!
Clark hasn’t won a damn thing lol she’s literally known for being runner up 😂 not one national title but yet she’s a winner 😂
@@oherewego3461 It's easy to count titles like this, but how much are you willing to bet that those Iowa teams could have gotten to those NCAA Championship games *without* Caitlin? Also, could you see any *one* of those players from those stacked NCAA Champion South Carolina and LSU teams elevating every player on a not-so-stacked team like Iowa the way that Caitlin did???
@@oherewego3461 reported for misinformation
Yes, Sides is trying to establish herself as a good coach. From her first press conference, she diminished CC by stating issues she would correct! Caitlin knows the game better Sides.
I think Clark is building a relationship with her teammates and showing them that they can win. Winning is a lot more fun than losing. I also noticed that Clark is who told Sides to challenge the foul call on Smith’s clean block. We know Sides hates Smith. We know Sides recently punished Smith and that Smith’s gf isn’t a fan of the Clark fans who hurl racist abuse because who would be? So Clark having Smith’s back and friendly banter is nice to see.
Fire Sides
Sides can't ruin Clark's career. She is only a momentary roadblock.
this is what us new to the WNBA don't understand. plant her on the bench for a season, the fans evaporate, and the career is ruined.
Notice Mitchell's number '0' for rebounds & assists, that is funny.
Hello Vinny well she did have 3 assists against Minnesota..Lol
It's funny how Coach Sides doesn't understand that the Whole Team doesn't Trust Her and as she continues to undermine the Team it's only going to get more Apparent that the Team is turning against you Coach Sides and Lynn Dunn and y'all brought this on Yourselves 🏀🤯🔥🤫😎
When CC's contract is up Magic Johnson, one of the owners of the LA Sparks need to sign Caitlin. I think that's the best organization for her. She's Showtime, she see the game the way Magic did and I they would let Caitlin be Caitlin.
You dreaming
No that is a GREAT idea. Clark with Brink and Rickea and Hamby.... or however they construct it.
Clark will be magic and Brink will be Kareem
@@hoosierproud7718 It is a good dream if you want CC not to be hampered by Sides's sabotage.
She not coming to LA, why would she do that? She is MidWest tried and true. Smallville for life!
@@undergroundfamous264 I just like to see CC reach her full potential. Indiana is fine but some changes will need to be made. Her back court mate won't even pass to her.
Boston has become a better passer as season has gone along. 5 assists
That caught my eye as well
Boston has awakened to the opportunity afforded her by Clark. And she is throwing off the misconceived coaching of Sides
If you take a close look at the career of Sides, she was always an assistant. This is her second year as HC
And hopefully her last
Remember?
Boston got christie's back at a press conference and told her just to keep passing and not worry about turnovers.
Sides just openly,,denies CC
It's fookn confusing
This coach is definitely not qualified for this level of player, i.e., CC.
Another point is AB and CC could agree to take over the team. I think Sides is afraid of not having any voice in the room and is trying to prove she knows best. ...Evidence is to the contrary. That is why she has stuck with Wallace and Wheeler to the detriment of the team. Fever should have at least 2 more wins that coach turned to losses.
@earlewilliams- personally, I think these players should get on the Same page and just do their own thing. They have the potential to do this. They just Have to Stick Together to do it. Leave Sides with her mouth dropped wide open.
What is Sides going to do when they are out there playing their Own game & winning??
Knowing Sides, she'd probably yank them All off the court & bench them. That IS what Sides does when a player is hot with their shooting.
I think it's going to have to be the Fans sending a message, that they will not support this team as long as Sides is the coach. Doubtful that will happen either, unless they Know that they won't be watching Clark!
She's the reason they are there to watch!
Sides is micro managing this team too much.
Clark's reaction after Mitchell's bricked 3, said it all. She just walk off to the other end of the court. I hate too look too much into this deal with Sides grabbing Clark, without knowing all the actual facts, but either way, this is a terrible look. Ultimately, the Fever won this game, yet nobody is happy with it at all. Think about that, fans are more pissed about a win, than they are about any loss this year. And every finger points right at Christie Sides. The Aces should trade the entire farm for Clark. She will 100% go to Vegas to play with Kate Martin, and nobody will be able to stop that team. The Fever have to do something, because Clark and the fans are not going to put up with this
Edit- Hell now that I think about this, maybe that's why the Aces drafted Kate Martin in the first place lol. Think about it. Martin was Clark's room mate in college. Martin wasn't expected to be drafted, yet the Aces draft her anyway (biggest steal of the entire draft too.) Now they have the biggest bargaining chip to attract Clark to play at Vegas, because in no world does Caitlin Clark say no to playing in the pros with Kate Martin. Ya never know lol
Christie Sides does not trust Caitlin Clark to let a 31 point lead evaporate. Clark would ruin Sides’ plan by continuing to generate points and a win. It’s like Sides had a “Side” bet against her own team.
Pete roseing it
CC is the coach and that’s the problem. As the year goes on Christy becomes less relevant and she can’t stand that. Christy and the organization don’t care if they win. They’ve been losing for so long. The culture over there is so messed up
I think the whole culture of wnba is messed up! That's why no one ever watched it! CC is such an awesome BB player! People like me that never watched BB before are paying attention! The wnba is made up of so many disfuctional women! CC just wants to play great BB! It's a fact many woman ruin whatever they touch because they turn on each other quickly! Jealousy, envy, and drama follow them! CC is about playing a great game!
@@carriesmith9943 totally agree
Lots of people have drawn attention to Sides over-ruling Caitlin on that play, and later grabbing her by the arm. I appreciate you taking it one step further to the effect of this coaching behavior on the team. With all the criticism she receives, Sides must feel like she is losing control. She is used to a different style of basketball than Caitlin plays, but it's not as effective as Caitlin's almost NBA approach to the game. How tough it must be to be a coach with a rookie player who demonstrates superior basketball know-how than her coach. When people feel they are losing control, they squeeze tighter (i.e., grab Caitlin by the arm). Sadly, squeezing tighter creates even more resistance or kills the one being squeezed (figuratively). Sides may be doing exactly what her boss is telling her to do, so the situation may be even more difficult for her with a superstar rookie on one side and an old-fashioned WNBA style GM on the other.
A good coach coaches the team according to the talents and strengths of the players. But also good coaches with winning systems build a teams with players who fit that system. At some point you have to realize the special talents of your best players this is where I think Sides is failing miserably. You pump the brakes on the pace that got you a big lead then you’re at a loss in explaining how you almost lost it. 🤦♂️
@@jessepena5847 Totally agree!
I think Caitlin slammed the chair right after one of her own turnovers. I think that was frustration with herself.
but if you watch the player should have been there, no anticipation, the player gave up on the play.
Where's the fire Side's petition?
Seriously, can someone post a link?
I agree with every point you make here. This team is shifting to CC and Sides is flexing to retain control. She must go.
Owner in COMA. Clark has to just totally ignore Sides or find a way to get traded b4 next Season!
Sides got to go ..
Fired the coach please let her go. Hired another coach for the team please. The coach needs to take a communication skills class in order to talk to all of us during media questions. The coach should not coach this team.
That image of the four players is very telling. Mitchell's easily good enough to get 10 rebounds - maybe not every game - but she'll never get double doubles the way she's playing.
She is improving; in recent games she has passed the ball to CC22 from time to time, so let's home she'll gradually get used to doing that.
Definitely could use her rebounding! The Fever aren’t strong enough to have a “shoot only” person on the court. She needs to be a TEAM player and not just a “my stats” player IMHO.
the problem is kelsey does do a good job running and collecting passes for easy buckets. if you dont have her whos gonna fill that role? we need kelsey but we also need her to pass the ball
CC's reps need to have a heart to heart with both Dunn and Sides. If nothing changes, CC should buy out her contract and move on!!!!!
Sides behavior is primarily motivated by CC not bowing and scraping to her. Sides likes being in control and likes Wheeler because she's "coachable." At this point CC has no respect for Sides as a coach, and Sides would rather show CC who's boss than win a game. Same goes for the GM. In a few words, it's ego and spite
Glad you pointed out that grab on CC. I didn't notice that for some reason. Who does Sides think she is? And in front of a whole stadium... ugh!
Caitlin Clark and New York Liberty….perfect together.
Clark wouldn’t even start lol then her fans would run her away from that franchise as well 😂
@@oherewego3461 reported for misinformation
Impressive interpretation and probably on the money. Sad situation for Clark and the team. Mitchell may come along in time, she’s never been a team player, and old habits are hard to break, but Kelsey benefits so much by working with Caitlin, it’s hard to believe she doesn’t know it.
Yes I don’t understand why the media does not ask Christie Sides why would you take The very best player out of the game or why you give Wheeler the point and send Clark in the corner when you were winning clearly when Clark was leading this team to win period
Caitlin Clark is getting held back to lift up th other preferred players. Winning is not Sides top priority.
Sides seems to know less about BB their Caitlin knew in middle school !
Lin Dunn trusts and fully supports Christy Sides.
Does Sides grab any of the other Fever players?
Christie Sides sucks
It is completely INAPPROPRIATE FOR ANY COACH at ANY AGE LEVEL to physically and forcefully grab a player like that, and especially juvenile in an adult league. The forceful anger in that grab after Caitlin had already passed her, could have easily resulted in an injury. Caitlin can't play nice girl anymore to Sides. CC needs to QUICKLY draw a line that sends shockwaves through Sides and the entire Fever organization on how she DEMANDS to be treated respectfully and like an adult, lest Caitlin's parent's show up to the GM with a lawyer and CC's manager by their sides. CHRISTIE SIDES IS A COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT to the entire organization and league.
It’s all about diversity in this league. No one player can shine too much bc they don’t wanna hurt anyone’s feelings. This league is ran by fairies.
Hey fans repost this and share CC needs a new coach….
@@lizhricik just let CC BE the Coach!! lol
For years the WNBA was ignored by the masses. Now the masses are watching one single player. The other players that have been playing are still being ignored by the masses. This is pissing off the players, the coaches, the administrators of the league. So they have banded together to go after her as a group - a total group effort.
The WNBA is constantly posting about the wonderful play of Angel Reese with her consecutive double doubles, (a WNBA made up record just recently) while ignoring all of the other players getting double doubles and Catlin's triple double. This is to serve one purpose, to take the focus of the masses off of Caitlin Clark. These efforts have failed and has only increased Catlin's popularity.
Feel for Caitlin and the Fever. Christie takes no responsibility therefore offers no chance for fundamental change. Unfortunately, CC will lift the Fever into the playoffs despite having to overcome a coach passionately working against her and the team.
The thing about it is Clark would never say anything against Sides publicly regardless of what she is really thinking. If the fever decide to stay with Sides in time you will see Clark rebel and do what she decides is best anyway. Ive said this before but Clark does have the power to get rid of sides should she choose to do so.
Technically, don't' we want Coach not to talk negatively about her players, from CC to the other players?
Nah, Sides just showed she doesn't know what she's doing, that's why she grabbed CC223D.
As I have stated in some comments on some blogs Caitlin should ask for a trade if Sides stays in the team. She will just be frustrated every now and then. Wat a team, LOL. Michell as a point guard has ZERO assist? Wat a joke. Wheeler is a destroyer of Clark in the court.
Sides doesn't want Clark to be a point guard, she wants the Wheeler to run the team. The only reason that Clark plays point is a pressure put on Sides. I'm pretty sure that she hates Caitlin tbh. I think the players should go out and play for them selves. Let Sides bench them. It will show that she's lost the locker room and needs to go. Ot they keep Sides, Wheeler and Mitchell and trade everyone else. But something needs to change.
I think CC is too strong of a player and person for sides. I think it’s a power struggle. Sides is insecure and trying to control CC.
Sides proved to entire team, fans and the W she is not to be trusted!! Toxic Narcissistic Coach will destroy everyone around them! Fire Sides 30 times. She does NOT deserve to have 3 ALL STARS AND ROY!! 😢
I'm sure Sides reads all these negative comments about her coaching inabilities , and this might be her thinking , "I'll show them all who's the boss" , it's me not CC.
Couldn't have said this better myself, you are right on .
Sides is sabotaging the Fever intentionally. She's gotten the go ahead to do so.
Aiming to get yet another 1st round draft pick?
A pick they can trade or sell?
I've seen sides screaming at Caitlin. Also, Sides not only grabbed her arm, she was tugging her arm. 😤
Feels like just yesterday you had about 1,500 subscribers. Congrats.
Cristie Sides her first head coaching job should not have been the Fever! The GM that hired her don’t want to admit she made a mistake!
The play you showed of Mitchell running around in circles under the basket....I watched a training video where Sides is actually training the team in that move.😮 Mitchell and Wheeler are yes woman. They do exactly what Sides tells them to do. All intentional.
Makes sense... I mean by trusting in CC the Fever might blow a 31 point lead or something and we cant have that...LMAO
They made the big 4th quarter comeback by ignoring the coach. They started running again. The star player on the other team had a very bad shooting game, but she was forced to guard Clark the whole game. Even when she struggles, she wears down the other team.
If your coach doesn't have confidence in you being the best player on the team, how does the coach feel about the other fellow players? A change is necessary either in the coach's attitude or the player will bounce at the end of her contract. Quickest solution change the coach and start a new beginning. Coach's attitude seldom changes. They just feel further resentment.
Really well done. Your analysis is spot on .
Thier getting better every game. Consistency needs some work. But they will get their by playoffs.
It's almost as if Dunn and Sides are intentionally trying to destroy Clark🤔
Christie Sides is the Paul Westhead of this team. She is trying to show that she is the brains behind the team’s success, and it is putting her at odds with the team’s superstar.
They simply don't need a coach. The Indiana Fever do not need a coach. Caitlin is the best coach on the floor.
You can bet the farm that the feeling is mutual on Clark's part, also. None of Clark's fans trust Sides, either. I haven't watched this video yet. I'll never understand the crappy job of coaching Sides is doing. I know nobody is so stupid as do to some of the stuff Sides had done to and with Clark. Benching her when she has led a 20 point comeback, in less than 5 minutes, or there abouts, and on the verge of winning, possibly. Pure stupidity, if not deliberate sabotage.
I admire CC’s mental toughness. If I was in her shoes, I would refuse to go out there. If Sides disrespected me I’d let her see what the team looks like without me.
Clerk should privately tell Sides "keep your hands off me".
CC loves a challenge. Her biggest challenge is bringing Sides on board while shoring up her ego, which she tried to do with the 'great play designed by coach to start the 4th quarter' during the last post-game media statement. Second biggest challenge, of course, is getting assists from Mitchell. Mitchell is now assisting Samuelson, for one game at least.
Coach Christie Sides is the one who shouldn't be trusted, instead of Caitlin Clark, and it's ridiculous and absurd that coach Christie Sides is saying that Caitlin Clark's not to be trusted, when coach Christie Sides has repeatedly proven herself to be a hidden enemy within of both Caitlin Clark, as well as a hidden enemy within Caitlin Clark's own team's ranks!!
The teammates getting the benefit of all those assists trust her. Christy Sides not so much.
Celeste Taylor looks pretty good on the Mercury
I know a dream but Lisa Bluder for GM and a male black coach , this would prevent any racial innuendos in the future and I think it would help bring Mitchell into compliance CC does have more power than Christie Sides or Lynn Dunn let’s see if she chooses to use it
Sides is making good money in Vegas with some unknown friends.. she must GO.
I’m a father and if that was my daughter you would probably be reading about the confrontations I would have with the front office.
I think we would all like to see a black dude coaching the Fever next year
"Chick's Dig Scars " I still think you ought to do a fifty fifty raffle on when Mitchell will get an assist, and the assist has to go to Caitlin for a basket You could donate 50% to a children's basketball charity or the Fever foundation.😅😂😅
Christie Sides is trying to make the game about her and not for the Fever team. She doesn't know how to utilize Caitlin which is the team's best player.
The WNBA doesn't deserve CC!
The Fever and most other WNBA teams need a tough Male coach. There is jealousy between players, between teams, and coaches are jealous of players. This is what happens when no men are around to balance things out.
Trust…. It takes a lifetime to develop, mere suspicion to destroy. Nice start Christy!
Nah, Sides embarrassed herself to the whole crowd.
Even though it’s women’s basketball it’s still professional basketball. You don’t grab a professional athlete by the arm. Hopefully CC knows just how much power she has and could force the hand of the franchise. If not tell them you want out. This franchise is a joke. Great show as always
Sides says she doesn’t trust Carlin Carlin has won more games than Sides has had any part of in the last four years
Fever win against Lynx. Exhausting game. Caitlin was off her mark. Boston, Hull, Mitchell stood in the gap.
Listen to Dunn talk to Dan Danica, she says all anyone needs to know. Lays out Dunn’s attitude and what Sides is expected to comply with. Explains Sides insistence that Caitlin change not the team.
I wish it was only coach Sides. It is not, as I see it.
The WNBA management, which means the owners, are behind this.
Sides could not behave that way without the approval of Herb Simon, owner of the Fever.
Cheryl Reeve could say and do what she did without the approval of Glen Taylor, the owner of Lynx.
If the owners were not behind it, then these would be isolated incidents,
and not the orchestrated persistent actions they are.
To me, it looks like a policy and program has been created to denigrate and diminish Caitlin Clark.
That seems insane, too. I cannot fathom how it benefits the owners.
Yet, the owners are at least tolerating it, if not initiating it.
I am not sure which would be worse.
A coaches job is to pick the team up, not to demean them and put them down. Especially, when your franchise invests in the number one draft pick.
