The New Fever President Will Change EVERYTHING For The Team... In this video we are going to be talking about Caitlin Clark, the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft and how she is a great matchup by WNBA players. Caitlin Clark was drafted number 1 by the indiana fever after being one of the greatest college basketball players of all time. WNBA players like A'Ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart and Sue bird have all given their opinion of the number 1 pick.

reality is coming to sides and dunn
We can only hope!!!
Good one!!! I sure hope so!!
Hopefully she will build the Fever around CC.
This is The WAY!
If not, I don't think Caitlin will stay. She wants to play her style of basketball.
There is no question that’s the plan. They had a multi year plan and CC blew up those plans. They gave it a year and saw that she is instantly the real deal. It’s time to win now and for the next dozen years.
I think she will. I think she sees the obvious way forward as much as we do.
I'll believe it when Dunn and Sides are gone.
Doesn't matter who is on any team if nothing is done about the referees.
Impossible to enjoy the game!
They need to be graded after every game.Like NFL refs are.Then get rid of the bad ones.
@@snave59 You're assuming that the ref's weren't doing what they were told. Those uncalled fouls against CC right in front of the bald ret the last game and that one ref looking right at the malfunctioning shot clock the game before without blowing her whistle were too obvious not to raise eyebrows and suspicions.
The owners see they can make money off this now. So the job actually matters. It didn’t matter before.
The ratings are in from yesterday for the Fever/Sun last game.. 2.5 million. Damn the WNBA couldn't have messed up the Caitlin Clark mania more if they tried.
What amazes me,is that the players want her gone from the WNBA.They don't seem to realize,she is why they got chartered flights, a $2billion tv contract,sold out arenas.None of that happens,w/o Clark.
The better question is what is the rating after fever is eliminated
@@kenwk2283 400k per game, if that.
Wow!
2.5 million eyes to watch the corrupted ass refs
i have not seen one coach in the wnba that has the bb iq that cc has
Wait till next season. You think she’s in your wigs now? You will need therapy when she is done.
My question is: How did the Fever BOARD OF DIRECTORS approve a 3-year $500,000 per annum contract for a HC with no experience?
Maybe $500k to attract a coach that has to endure rebuilding. Maybe HCs also get paid more than we would think in the WNBA. No rhyme or reason in general though. Here’s why I think this:
Coach Curt Miller /Sparks: $700k
-And now fired, team is last.
Coach Nate /Mercury: $1.2mil
-And never won a chip.
Coach Reeve /Lynx: $700k
-Won 4 chips.
Don't forget, massive playoff bonus as well.
Get rid of the fake nails.
Give DiJonai Carrington's set of talons to Freddy Krueger so as not to let them go to waste!
She has no power to get riud of other teams players,long nails.That has to be from the WNBA comissioner.
Dagger-lady Demonai Carrington is more like it.
GET RID OF ANY NAILS LONGER THAN THE FINGERS !
I’ll believe it when i see it. SIDES better be gone by next season.
Hey hey, some lady wore a "Ban Nails" t-shirt to the Sun Fever game. You need to add that to your merch. 🤣🤣🤣
Merchandise. Does nobody use actual words any more?
Along with.... Ban Flopping
@@michaelsteven5558 if the fan said it they might kick her out if the game the wnba kick out fans if they say things
@@wnnakwkqkq8636 I doubt that saying "merch" rather than "merchandise" would get anyone kicked out of a game. I referred to the OP.
@@michaelsteven5558 i was talking about the nails 😂
0% chance sides is coaching next year?
I would say 90% chance she's coaching the fever next year.
We will see if she fires one of her friends, namely Sides and Dunn
Well she had nothing to do with Sides from my understanding and Dunn is probably going to retire at some point
I think she'll talk Dunn into retiring, and then fire Sides. Or at least she should. The only reason she might hesitate is that this is only year 2 into her first head coaching gig. That could be a huge career setback for Sides. Hard to believe they brought in Krauskopf to not shake things up.
I heard that she's already said Dunn and Sides stay. Hope that that's wrong.
@@mikehall4517 For the coming weeks, yes.
@@sheesshhhhhh Dunn needs to retire.She looks like she is in her 70's.
sides doesnt understand you dont build cc around your team you build your team around cc they play off of what she does not the other way around
If CC decides to play elsewhere or quit, kiss that sweet TV deal goodbye.
Losing is the option the Fever selected when Sides wasn't let go at the break, so let's not go there. You can't compare NBA to WNBA teams due to the small rosters (20 vs 12), low salary cap, guaranteed slave contracts, and minimal player skill level.
I did find out something not good about Krauskopf.
When the Fever hired Christie Sides in 2022, Krauskopf was one of the people Lin Dunn leaned on during the coaching search process. “She reminds me of a young Lin Dunn without all the craziness,” Krauskopf jokingly told me of Sides 2 years ago.
If Dunn was pushed out and Sides got one more year, it would be better than both staying. I hope they get a GM who knows how to fill out that roster. Sides did not have much to work with outside of CC AB and KM.
@@jordanlj1 Sides didn't use the existing roster well at all. And having the second worst defense in the league while allegedly being a defensive coach... plus the half court offense was terrible too both of her seasons as head coach.
@@_M.... I agree that Sides is not a good coach, but firing one of them is better than keeping both of them.
I'm a Pacers and Fever season ticket holder. Kelly is an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC basketball executive. I would not expect though any personnel decisions to come quickly. Kelly is a person who will absolutely give anyone a fair shake and Christie will certainly get a chance to make her case for why she should be retained. There will also be a question of who is available and will want to coach in Indianapolis, which may limit the number of possible candidates. Also, coaching in Indiana can be uniquely difficult when the fan base across the state is so baseketball savvy. It's not a joke when I tell you that you can find a random grandma in the middle of nowhere Indiana who can explain the box and 1 and its uses better than alot of actual coaches in other places. Heck, we have people (FOR REASONS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND) who want to fire Rick Carlisle...
Christie Sides' 2024 season is proof enough of her INCOMPETENCE.
You don't need an American coach,Europe has much better coaches and players
I remember 40,000 + at a high school boys basketball game back in the 90s. They also have like 10 of the 12 largest HIGH SCHOOL gyms in the country. Basketball crazy folks for ALL levels and gender of basketball.
@@robebanks5054Come on. If you’re going to troll, you gonna have to do better than that lame attempt!
I’m glad you mentioned that Hoosiers are particular about basketball. That’s what people forget.
When Bird joined the Celtics he had Bill Fitch as coach for his first 4 years then KC Jones for 4 or 5 years. Both Fitch and Jones drew up plays at the end of some close games to use Bird as a decoy. Bird being Big and Dominate said We are not doing that, just get me the ball and get out of my way. Krauskopf's first thing is to tell the Fever coach and Caitlin Clark that the first rule is Clark has the ball when The Fever need a basket. Second rule is The Fever run Show Time Basketball the way The Lakers did when Magic Came to Town. Krauskopf's role is to get Caitlin a running team. Third Rule, Get a Premier Defensive Assistant Coach that can teach Man to Man and Matchup Zone.
Mick almost choked when he saw Berger go over the top of a screen like it was nothing.
Like how you think IU beat Iowa twice the last couple of years?
Coach Moren played her guards tight on CC and used equal sized guards and trapping defense of the pick. Forced the role players to win games.
Pretty much every team that has had success against CC got their blueprint from IU vs Iowa games the last couple years to see how to play Caitlin on defense.
The Fever and many wnba teams play slow bruising basketball. But it's worse than the Big Ten or college ball on defense.
I agree, just get those skilled, athletic 3 and D players and mix in proper role players to fill in niche assignments spot minutes.
It’ll all be for naught until the W fixes the officiating
One can hope the new president will actively bitch to the W about refs n flagrant/tech fouls
If you watch other games you’ll see it’s terrible and inconsistent reffing across the league.
As far as physical play, if that continues to be the norm then you mold your roster to handle that. CC will be in the weight room, SF and PF are needs and are positions where you can get that type of physical player.
It isn’t deliberate rigging against the Fever. They’re a finesse team without that physical presence so it hurts them but that doesn’t make it conspiracy. And like I said, I do agree the refs are atrocious and need to be upgraded, I think I just see it as a league wide problem rather than a Fever getting intentionally screwed problem.
@@Phlibberty yeah, it's worse than college games because I expect a degree of level better than college refs.
All the fouling women do in basketball in general is one of the major reasons why it's so hard for the avg basketball audience to watch. Especially since most people are mainly exposed to watching men play.
The lack of quick lateral movement on defense or the ability to bend and squat move side to side and backwards really shows up when you see good defense in a men's game versus a women's game. Biological differences I think show up that we don't necessarily think about being a factor as to why things look different. We often think more about how the offensive side is different with jumping being the major difference.
Yeah, so many of the Fever grew up as offensive first players. Aliyah is the only one with size they've drafted recently that uses her physique to her advantage. CC started using her size more when they forced her inside the 3 pt line. Lexi had go maniac on defense to differentiate herself from Wallace. Wallace has thickness and strength but not size or quickness. Eventually that led Lexi to succeed by being on the court for offense.
WNBA needs to change some things as well. Otherwise it’s a total failure.
Start with the refs.They are terrible.
Nail, jewelry, etc. rule first thing, changing the accountability for the refs will take a bit more effort, but the league has 6 months to get something done.
Bluder please.
I'm not sure Bluder wants any part of that league. But she was a great coach at Iowa. And perfect for Caitlin Clark.
Actually, Bluder needed Asst Coach Jan Jensen to mentor and keep Caitlin from exploding in college. Bluder is a great coach, but not necessarily for Caitlin.
@@justindoud251 Keep Caitlin from exploding? What're you talking about?
@@renoblomberg4054 He just babbles ish all over the place like he knows things, ignore the troll.
I hope this means good for the girls and do some changes in the rules and refs
Start by getting rid of Dunn & Sides.
I bet you one million dollars that sides coaches the team next year. Your takes are wrong over and over.
We will see.Do you have a million dollars to pay,if you are wrong?
I don't see how they fire her either (unfortunately). Mick churns out high volume videos, often with some flimsy takes.
3 year plan that Krauskopf green lighted by helping find Sides. The question is, how much of a poker player is she. Does she go all in? Or does she fold, cut the deck, and start a new hand?
@@jammin_J64a three year plan made sense. Then reality happened. Clark is different and they realized that, that’s why you see this hire.
@Phlibberty
Your guess is as good as mine. I certainly don't have any inside information. All I can do is offer up theories. I do know CC is valuable, be it to build around or to use as trade bait. Nothing would surprise me at this point. I never thought I would see such blatant bad officiating as I saw this season and I've been around a long time. I've seen some highly questionable shite in the NFL but I know to expect some clinkers here and there. But this was just WAY too obvious. Someone got rich.
The only way there’s going to be real change in the WNBA is if the network executives and their lawyers who gave them that huge money deal go to Adam Silver and say “what the hell are you doing to Caitlin Clark? Her fan base is the only reason we gave you that money.” I truly believe that’s the only motivation that will make any change in the WNBA. Let’s hope those executives and their lawyers are already having such discussions with Adam Silver.
Ab-so-lutely!
Would they hire a Pacer assistant coach as the Fever head coach? Copy organizational expectations and success,
Bluder on the way
They told old pres to walk
@@tonyhill5235doubtful as she has said multiple times that she wants to enjoy her retirement traveling etc i would love it though
@@tonyhill5235 She's retired.Give it a rest.
99% chance Sides stays. Hopefully many players are replaced.
Fever has disappointed the fans through out the year. My hopes are very low.
They should pick up Haley van lit in the second round
nope!
@@RickMcGuire-bl2vs why not she plays as good as Kelsey Mitchell only reason why she got a bad name is because she cannot beat Caitlin Clark but nobody can
no, they should not.
Okay if her pacer decisions come to fever this is encouraging
There are dozens of players who have been cut by WNBA teams because they weren’t in the ‘Club’, but are fully capable and are playing all over the world, that the Fever can look at to sign.
The Fever need to do some recruiting for better compliment players to help Caitlin and Chelsea. Including what every hockey team in the NHL has , a enforcer who takes care of the flagrent fouls on Caitlin.
Fire the coach, hire Larry Bird, Mark Jackson or one of the Millers, get rid of the dead wood and drama queens on the team, and draft, trade for or sign a tough defensive minded enforcer who can set screens, grab rebounds and protect their most precious asset! There, problem solved!
I hope you are right. But, I have lost all hope that there is anyone in the WNBA management who is competent. This league seems to be more interested in staying the same small league instead of growing. Most of the players aren't ready for the negatives of fame and the scrutiny, just look at Dijonai, she wasn't ready for people to look at all the camera angles and call her out when she lied, she thought she could get away with it.
give CC Kate Martin
Satou Sabally would be a great fit
Nice dream!🏀😴
I'm just dreaming, but Larry Bird should coach them. Can you imagine what he'd do for Clark and the team?
That would be awesome!
He is head of basketball operations for the Celtics.You think he would leave that job,to come work for the Fever? Not happening.
@@snave59no, but it would be so much to watch him deal with those refs, 😂😂😂😂
So, is Bluder going to be the coach? If not, then I don't see the necessary changes coming!
There are plenty of capable coaches out there. Mark Jackson is one ex NBA coach that comes to mind.
Fever need a Policy change that does NOT allow players to be in a relationship with other players or at least players on other teams. Smith & Carrington did not sit well with Fever fans! Lots of Company's have a similar policy.
Actually, allowing this is opening up the teams and the league to law suits.
Nalyssa Smith needs to go
There is no shortage of people who would help her pack.
I can only hope. I've seen so much incompetence, I won't be holding my breath.
The Fever probably have a good ten years, maybe twelve to win as many championships, if any, with CC. I could be wrong but CC will
Make so much money and when it’s time to settle down with a family she will hang it up and probably before 35 years old!
Bring in players from Europe,98% of American female players are mediocre
I'm not sure Sides can be fired, if she signed a 3 year contract
Well, Mick, the season is now over and the clock is now running. There is reason to be hopeful that this new Pres. knows the game well enough and has the wherewithal to get down to business, clean out the deadwood, and get this franchise moving forward. It's as simple as this to me: She'll show promise if Sides is gone, but she will be a miserable disappointment if Sides remains. With Dunn, she should be talked into a nice quiet passing into retirement, but if she thinks she can co-GM with Dunn for a year and make sure good decisions are made, that's up to her.
Talk is cheap. We will see if she does more than lip service.
Caitlin should put some pressure on both the Fever mgmt/ownership and on the league, fix some major problems if you want her to come back, or else she'll leave.
You will have to buy somepeople to call the games in your favor
I believe Christy has one year left at $500k,,, Not sure if that is Gaurenteed
She can’t lure players to Indy with this salary cap problem, but you may be able to with endorsement promises! This could work…
You realize players can be cut,to create salary cap space.Right? The NFL teams do it all the time.
@@snave59 yes I do. However there may be a need to incentivize potential players with more than a max or near max contract. Probably won’t get anyone for more than a year contract with the CBA negotiations coming up.
@@snave59 cutting for salary results in dead money counted against the cap, have to negotiate the buyouts. Taylor counted about 40-45% of her pay against the cap when she was waived.
EW is UFA, gone, KM is UFA pay her, KLS is due 180k and Dantas 100k next year are protected vets, have to keep or buyout, those are the tough ones, Smith due 92k, gone Hull due 88k, keep Those are the top contracts -- Wallace and Berger 80k, Wallace gone, Berger TBD, Saxton 66k and Temi RFA but 76.5k this year TBD -- CC at 78k and AB at 83k just for reference Expansion draft and compensation will have some effects
I will believe there will be a fundamental change when Sides is fired.
Yes, not the time to give a coach grace. The time is now. Not a 10 year growth again.
James Johnson isn’t on the team for his basketball abilities.
With all the extra attention on the WNBA from all the new viewers and news attention, will the NBA exert pressure from their 50% ownership to start making some serious changes in the offseason from rules enforcement, refereeing, media training/savvy, and how seriously the teams are taking things? A lot of the issues that the WNBA is starting to face are things that the NBA dealt with 20 to 30 years ago. So in order to keep the WNBA product to be something all these new fans will want to see and not lose them just as the numbers are finally turning to make it profitable, will the NBA flex its muscle on the WNBA teams?
I hope they don't wait too long to make changes.
get Cheryl Miller on the phone
We'll see. Fever with Dunn at the helm was a disaster cause she hand picked sides. 😩
The Pistons hired Monty Williams last year as a rebuilding coach. They fired him after a poor year and that’s without drafting a transcendent superstar or playing one season with a transcendent rookie.
There is no question the Fever are changing the coach if they’re taking this seriously, which every indication shows they are.
Promises throw to the wind. Fever team is a very very weak. This season they make the miracle of getting to the playoffs. But to do that they needed the new true talend that CC is, and the best season by far from KM. And this is the main concern KM is not consistent. This last season was her best season by far, but look what she did on the playoffs games (and even in the last games of regular season)....she return to the normal KM....drible drible drible lost ball.
Other HUGE problem of the Fever is the total PATHETIC mindset behinde the contract of their players. The players that earn the most money are the ones that play worst. No other team will offer similar contract to them, and they are still on contract.....so they will continue next season. With that said: HOW WILL THE NEW PRESIDENT CHANGE EVERYTHING?? She will do NOTHING. I bet with everyone that SIDES will also continue as a coach lol.
With all this reality, and by the moves some teams are already doing, i dont see the Fever getting to playoff next season. In fact i don't see CC wining anything on Fever team on the next 4/5 years.
Hero Ball!
It takes the right ingredients, the right mixture of players and coaches, and timing luck to win a chip in the WNBA.
NY and Conn have never won a chip. And they’ve existed in the WNBA since 1997 and 2003, respectively.
A turnaround of 4-5 years seems too optimistic for me. This is Sides 2nd year and I really don’t see the Fever winning a chip in 2 years unless they replace 1/2 of their roster that includes in-shape veterans which they likely do not have the budget$ for. Especially with new, good rookies coming soon along with expansion teams in the horizon, a Fever chip in 2 years seems unrealistic.
If you’re solely a new CC/Fever fan, then you will feel disappointment. If you’re a supporter of women’s sports thriving, then you will be happy with what’s happening with the current WNBA growth.
I take it that you’re exclusive to CC though.
That’s literally why you change things form the top down. We all know Mitchell has the talent and can fit alongside Clark, it’s just a matter of coaching. If you watched Mitchell she was encouraging CC to keep the tempo up, they want to play the same style. It’s a coaching problem not a Mitchell problem imo
@@jeaniekim9951 I'm a kinda new WNBA fan. I like CC a lot, but she is not my favourite player. All my life is around business and data analysis. Wnba business is not very different from many others cases. The bigest surprise that i got on this sport is the amount of amateur people with small mindset are in top positions of this sport. Beside all of this, i also don't see Fever win anything in 2 years.....more......i don't see they win anything in the next 4/5 years (and this is only if they start making good decisions now).
But, many thanks for your kind imput and opinion.
I hope they change things for her and not support her like Cleveland did for 7 years and had to go elsewhere for a championship 🎉
I assume you know I’m speaking of Lebron James
That president didnt help The Fever win when she was there 😂😂😂😂
Yes she did.They were WNBA champions,when she was there.
Would be awesome to C Caitlin show up to watch a game in the finals
why?
Maybe they will give Sides another year and bring in a strong foward and trade Smith. Kelsey is an open question. If the execs can find a good shooting guard they may not renew Kelsey and go with another person.
Mitchell is easily the best SG available, plum is really the only other comparable free agent. We just need a coach that institutes an offensive system in the half court that keeps Michell playing in a way that enhances her strengths.
closest thing to caitlin clark in the NBA is Lamelo Ball
Trey Young tbh.
Haliburton from Iowa State is pretty good. I wasn't aware he played for the Pacers. Caitlin has been heard yelling at Sides all Season long, so, I expect the Coach to be fired.
Maybe they trade Caitlin? She did shoot 20% from 3's in the playoffs and Assists were down 5 per game as her 3 pt chucking went up 5 shots a game
@@justindoud251You are joking right
I think Euro league fishing would be a good idea. We can’t trust any current WNBA players not on the Fever who would be anti CC bias.
One thing that is being missed in these discussions: You have to prove to CC that you are a serious organization regarding winning and building. Why? CC ‘s contract will end and she CAN leave!!!!! They need to prove to CC that this is the place to make her career home. CC will not tolerate anything else.
CC can always buy out her contract and leave NOW.
@@deepcosmiclove She does not have enough data to make that decision now. So far it looks good to her. However, she will have the data in the future. The Fever need to prove to her that she needs to stay.
@@deepcosmiclovePlayers can not buy out their own contract. Both player and team need agreement for any restructuring. An example is Mabrey and Sky both agreeing to have her go to the Suns.
If Sides or Dunn is still employed this is just lip service. They need to keep three players and build around CC and that means get rid of Mitchell, Smith and every person on the bench.
Keep Lexi and work with her to get better. She shows a lot if promise
Nah man keep Mitchell, Aliyah, Lexie, Caitlin and maybe Dantas then replace rest of the bench
You have to keep Michelle she keeps defenses on there heels but her size sucks on defense.
Let’s see how next season goes, It was expected that fever wouldn’t be as dominant as people think.
This season was just a one-man team because of Caitlin Clark but she can’t carry all the time (I honestly feel bad for her.)
There’s always next year, I’ll give them two more years to reach the WNBA Finals. 🤣😂
Incompetence is going to be expected Mick however not tolerated....
You're welcome lol
no matter what changes Fever does or any other team. nothing change. its the WNBA itself and how it has been run and handled needs to get changed! cant be an official league if racism is tolerated, assault and obvious offical incompentence or bias. its a joke of a league and CC needs to play elsewhere.
New boss same as the old boss. Nothing will change in this lesbo team and lesbo league!
