In many ways, head coach of the Indiana Fever is the job Stephanie White was always meant to have.
White was a former Miss Basketball in Indiana, before moving on to Purdue, where she was the national player of the year. She played four years for the Fever, and after coaching stints with a few college programs and the Chicago Sky, she eventually returned to the Fever as a member of former coach Lin Dunn’s staff.
Now, the native daughter of the Hoosier State takes over a Fever team that is in a state of flux. Even though they made the playoffs last year and won their conference semifinal series with Washington 2-0, there is no denying the team was somewhat tired, both physically and mentally, by the end of the year.
