WHAT HAPPENED
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White told critics they can ‘go to hell’ after being booed by sections of the Fever fanbase on Tuesday. Her remark came in the wake of a Saturday game in which Chicago Sky forward DiJonai Carrington was ejected for a Flagrant‑2 foul that struck Fever guard Sophie Cunningham in the head and neck.
According to the Guardian’s Sport section, Carrington was ejected after the collision, and White – who had previously coached Carrington with the Connecticut Sun – stated that she did not believe the foul was intentional. The booing occurred before the Fever’s win over the New York Liberty. Indiana’s lieutenant governor has called for White’s dismissal. ESPN’s coverage confirms that White reacted angrily to the criticism, noting she was supported by many fans despite the boos.
The incident underscores growing tensions between coaching decisions, player safety, and fan expectations, especially as the Fever continue to perform well on the court amid off‑court distractions.
