Stephanie White’s pregame conference drew a scathing take from Jason Whitlock.
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White dedicated her entire pregame conference vs. the New York Liberty to clearing the air about the earlier Sophie Cunningham-DiJonai Carrington controversy.
White went off at people who doubted her support for Cunningham and blamed it on her not watching the replay of the hard foul.
During the press conference, White used some harsh words, and this led to a brutal callout from analyst Jason Whitlock.

Jason Whitlock demands answers from Indiana Fever over Stephanie White’s behavior
White not taking questions from reporters after a lengthy rant only hurt her case in the eyes of many analysts, including Whitlock.
Upon seeing the Fever head coach’s conference, Whitlock questioned how a professional basketball organization could allow such behavior.
“Absolutely stunning that a professional organization would allow one of their top executives to represent the franchise in this profane, idiotic manner. Fire. Stephanie. White. Now,” Whitlock demanded on X .
The Fever are yet to respond to Whitlock’s demands as the veteran analyst remains one of the leading voices to get White fired sooner rather than later.
But so far, the Fever have shown no signs that they are interested in parting ways with their head coach, despite her repeated controversial takes.
