    Anybody who’s played sports knows the body language of a player that is not happy with a coach…CC displays that body language clearly. She may not dislike her as a person, but I would bet a pretty good amount of money she isn’t wild about her as a coach.

    They don’t just isolate Clark because she’s a bad defender…they do it to get favorable match ups and to get Clark in foul trouble. White’s defensive system lends itself to that easily, so teams exploit it. Portland did the same thing to Raven, who’s supposed to be a defensive wizard.

    She probably has fewer turnovers per number of times she handles the ball than any other player in the league. If anybody else handled the ball as much as she does and gets defended like her, they would average 10+ turnovers per game. She didn’t handle the ball much last game and only had one...

    I think Sides was better than people gave her credit for. She was learning, but she took a major leap in the second half of the season. Not to mention she was willing to learn and change…White is not- she thinks her way is the only way regardless of the players she has and that does not lead to...

    The other way didn’t produce a title…he was still using the previous coach’s style. He didn’t implement his system until throughout the second year which led to a first round elimination of the playoffs. By game 11 of year three, Magic had had enough.

    I’ll go back to my Paul Westhead example…he won a championship, then won 54 games, yet he was fired 11 games into his third season because he didn’t know how to coach Magic Johnson. People called Jerry Buss crazy for firing him, but it turned out to be brilliant. Stephanie didn’t really coach...

    The easiest is doing nothing, which is why they’ll do that. And if they do fire her, they’ll just bring some other coaching re-tread who has no idea how to use Clark or doesn’t have the self-confidence to realize they need to change.

    Paging Notre Dame

    This was being discussed on a radio program a few years ago and they were saying those old PAC 12 schools had so many more sports than other universities which is why their football programs were lagging because so much of the money went to all these other sports that no one else has or cares about.

    Bold, but wrong…neither are going anywhere even if they don’t win another game all year. This is not a normal sports operation, this is the W.

    And the others considered the greatest players never came close to what she’s done in her first 61 games….are you saying those players never had bad games?

    She would be fine if she had six or seven players that all could all score double digits. That’s what she needs as a coach. She’s lost with only three players and she has no idea how to adapt.

    This whole situation with Stephanie White is exactly like the situation with Paul Westhead and Magic Johnson. Westhead would not change his system to take advantage of what he had in Magic, so Magic demanded a trade. The owner chose to keep Magic instead and won multiple championships. Westhead...

    Unimpressive compared to who? She had 16/6/4 last game…most point guards would kill for that stat line. She was bad tonight and she will have other bad games throughout the season, but her good games could be much better with a system that fits her style of play. There should never ever be a...

    It has very little to do with effort. You can’t make yourself quicker than you are no matter how hard you try.

    She has not been very good this year neither has Boston. Seems all the other teams have figured Stephanie White out this year.
