Do people think What just forgot how to coach defense when she took over the Fever?

He Suns teams were 2nd (2023) and 1st (2024) in the league in defensive efficiency for a reason.
Well, we're talking sports fans here. So, pretty much par for the course.

A backcourt of CC and KM just isn't going to produce good defense

certainly a roster issue, which goes back to the front office. Yes, the starting guards struggle. but there's NO interior defense especially when AB's not playing. Any team with size, ( and there are a lot of teams now with multiple 6'5' and taller players) punishes the fever in the paint.

Yeah. She definitely forgot. Take a look at their Defensive Ranking and Defensive Rebounding Ranking. Pretty run-of-the-mill.

Beyond poor. From philosophy to fundamentals.
You are correct. And they say defense is White's specialty. LOL

White is a joke, as is the entire Indy franchise and the WNBA in general. Imagine what the Fever--especially the defense--would look like under Ben McCollum. They might go undefeated and win most games 100-60. Coaching matters, and the Fever don't have it. Whatever is accomplished is in spite of White and her staff, not because of them.

C'mon, Stephanie. You have better things to do than post on this message board. Like taking the handcuffs off CC. Afraid to do it cuz you don't want a straight White girl to outshine all your lesbian friends in the league. The thing is, when she's even close to healthy, CC cannot be denied. Were you watching last night when she scored 45 with 10 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks, one of which came on the most crucial defensive possession of the game? I doubt it. And she only played 29 minutes.

BTW: It was interesting how animated you were when the refs missed a traveling call last night. You were way more agitated over that than when Alyssa Thomas was punching CC in the throat and kicking her in the groin. You took that quite calmly, basically ignoring it. And anyone who doubts that characterization, just go back and look at the videos. The difference is plain as day.

Apparently she did, yes. Put Ben McCollum in charge of the Fever--same roster--and guess what would happen with the defense?

Stephanie White . . . LOL

Are you always so incorrect, or is it just when you post something? But then sports fans, right? . . . Pretty much par for the course . . . for fans like you anyway.
