Yep that is fine. I just don't think the problem with Fever was the coach. The real problem is the 3 and 4 and the bigger issue was that had the perfect 4 in Smith and let her get away.
@ Yes, they had issues at the 3 and 4 and in the half court offense and their defensive sets. Those issues were things the coach did need to address, along with game management I thought they had big coaching issues. I know Christy Sides was giving it her best and don’t want to blast her after she is gone, but this is a huge upgrade. If the team leadership decides to keep Nalyssa Smith at the 4, you can be damn sure that Coach White will get the most out of her and take advantage of her skills.
Sides does belong here. She coached under Pokey Chatman and is close with Linn Dunn. I'm not sure if she's connected enough anywhere to get an assistant gig. I don't think she'll be in the W next season if she doesn't get one of the available head coaching jobs.
Yep , rolling the dice on Marsh. Pros he know the WNBA really well and a basketball guy. Con - he has never been a HC on any level. Hopefully it works out. overall i think the sky reasoning is that he will help develop Angel and Cardoso - as he really help J Young with her game.
Your thoughts on Sides deserving another year really undercut your credibility as analyst. The Fever fans overwhelmingly wanted her gone and that has to be taken into account, her X’s and O’s were just bad and the national attention put a light on how bad and finally she didn’t do anything to protect the player that put butts in seats - that’s unforgivable
that was exactly my point - the firing is based on making fans like yourself happy - It was not based on performance - the Fever were picked to come 7th by her hoops and finished 6th. However, Fever need a coach who can match CC popularity so that coach does not get run out of down when CC is upset or plays poorly. The biggest problem with Fever are at the 3 and 4 - katie lou samuelson did not play well and would think she would be left unprotected. NaLyssa Smith also struggled. The issues at the 4 is made worse by the fact that they had the perfect 4 in Alana Smith and let her go which really would have helped their Defence. hopefully for Fever Kelly Krauskopf is good at recognising and bringing in talent. Time will tell.
I mean - that seems like Chicago mgt felt locker room split developed as she was not held to same standard. Now is this true. I got no idea and it is the oldest play in sport - mgt trashes the fired coach by saying there were issues. & Normally when players coach if fired the the exact opposite comes in. That is what I meant. Overall seems like they went with Marsh & I imagine they will play up the he helped jackie Young develop and Marsh will be great at developing angel and Cardoso. Will it work? Time will tell.
@ The Valkyries are gonna be the league’s whipping boy for the foreseeable future. As for the Sky, that guy has to clip Angel’s wings on offense while still keeping her engaged in the game. If builds the team around Cardossa, will Chennedy respect it ? Plus they no picks.
Maybe it's because I'm a newer WNBA fan, but I don't understand why half the league fired their head coaches. Is this normal, or was this just an unusual year?
If I was an owner of the remaining WNBA teams in need of a Coach…I wouldn’t want to keep recycling these same old WNBA fired coaches! I would hire an assistant coach and give him or her their first opportunity to coach!
High risk - yes you might find the next genius but you might someone is is overwhelmed and not able to move the next seat over. But it is cheap and can usually win the press conference.
The elephant in the room is the lack of international players. The bottom half of the league is a train wreck and would benefit from the influx of talent. Why aren't more international players participating. And can't help but think the Mystics might see a serious win bump with the right coach. Seems they have the pieces. At risk of stirring up a hornet's nest, Clark fits into the Lloyd/Ogunbowale mold; an inefficient, high usage player. Do the Fever want a star or a title?
Are they? That is the question. I suspect they will core Thomas and that will ensure Bonner stays. Or would Thomas threaten to have surgery on her shoulders?
Give Sides another year? No Indiana Fever are ready to win NOW that’s why coach White was hired
Except a terrible dei hire from a hater.
I often like your content, but positioning the Stephanie White hire as ‘crowd control’ is the dumbest thing I have heard online in a while.
100% correct
Yep that is fine.

@back2sports Nalysa is still there, but the fans want her traded
Sides belongs in that last tier. She should try to work for Reeves for a few years.
Sides does belong here. She coached under Pokey Chatman and is close with Linn Dunn. I'm not sure if she's connected enough anywhere to get an assistant gig. I don't think she'll be in the W next season if she doesn't get one of the available head coaching jobs.
@@kelsawlink60 Maybe Atlanta or Dallas interviews her, but I doubt she is hired.
yep forgot to put her in the re-treads. yep she needs a Reeve or Hamon car wash.
The sparks are likely getting Paige. I'd go there if I had the chance
Chicago sky has a new head coach from the Las Vegas aces
Retreads.

What do u mean reign Angel in.....?

Hammon's assistants about to get exposed 😅
Doubt it. They are in great situations

@Zakarman43 doubt it. Valkyries could be good next year so will the Sky.
Maybe it's because I'm a newer WNBA fan, but I don't understand why half the league fired their head coaches. Is this normal, or was this just an unusual year?
I would say unusual. Normally 2-4 coaches go.
Chicago sky New hc
Hope he can handle jezebel
Too many recycled hacks. Time to get a NBA coaches in there. Vicky Johnson destroyed Charli Collier's career
Could've edited the Sky out lol but good vid
Yep, I dropped after i did most of the edit. I was lazy!

The person that took the biggest L is Marina Mabrey because the Sun are rebuilding
Are they? That is the question. I suspect they will core Thomas and that will ensure Bonner stays. Or would Thomas threaten to have surgery on her shoulders?
@@back2sports Marina Mabrey, Alyssa Thomas, Dewanna Bonner, that's 3 max players. Are they able to Afford Dijonai carrington as well?
Poor Matt Schaub catching strays lol!
He wasted the Arian foster years!
No one wants Conference Banner Curt.
