They could have drafted Kate Martin instead of the Celeste Taylor (who was just cut by the Fever) with the 15th pick in the draft. This shows that Sides was handed a Ferrari (Clark) yet she wasn't smart enough to build the team around her at draft time. Fire both the coach and GM.

You're not wrong; you didn't miss anything. Christie Sides' main focus is to ensure she's credited with any success of the Fever. From the outset, she came out criticizing Caitlin's game by saying, ""I think she's used to some shots that she's taken in the last few years that are just those deep shots. There's times she comes off ball screens where she's open in that long 2 area, and we've got to get her comfortable taking that long 2." The year before Caitlin was drafted, they ran the game through Aliyah Boston in the post. Sides is a very conservative coach who doesn't know how to deal with Caitlin's game. Sides uses a decades-old style of basketball. I've watched her enthusiastically stand up off the sideline and applaud layups, whereas her reaction to Caitlin putting in a deep-3 is more like, 'well, it's a score.' So, Sides continues to play what she considers is a safer way to play basketball. However, if you look at the percentage of shots Boston makes and multiply them by 2, then look at the percentage of shots Caitlin takes and multiply them by 3, the amount of points you get per shot is higher with Caitlin. Sides also is friends with some of the players. The player you're talking about, who she brought from Atlanta is Kristy Wallace. Sides is also friends with max-contract Erica Wheeler, who shouldn't be on the court at the same time as Caitlin. When Sides plays Wheeler, Caitlin goes to the corner and doesn't get the ball. Sides seems to use her friendships with players to determine who's playing. At times, it seems as if Sides wants to give everybody on the team their turn to play, like grade-school ball. Everybody gets to play. Back to my point about Sides wanting to be given credit for the team's success, she's done everything she could to coach Caitlin out of Caitlin. If you ever watched Caitlin at Iowa, it was amazing how much of fearless player she was. Now it seems she feels she has to pass the ball around. She IS afraid to shoot, but I don't believe she's afraid to shoot the ball, as much as she's afraid she'll be reprimanded by Sides for not passing the ball. Again, Sides focus is her post-centric philosophy, Caitlin's 3's be damned. If Sides let Caitlin go, how many people do you think would be talking about Coach Sides? That's right ... nobody. Finally, reporters were finally asking Sides why Caitlin didn't take more shots in the fourth quarter of that game, and Sides said the most incredibly unbelievable answer, "I never want her to not be aggressive and take shots. I really thought when she went out in transition after that missed free throw, I thought she was going to take it to the rim or pull up right there. That would have been a great shot for her, for our team.” My response to that ... since when have you had that attitude about Caitlin's shots? Are you kidding me? Anyone who's watched the Fever this year and listened to Sides knows Sides has coached Caitlin out of Caitlin. The only reason Sides had that response was because reporters FINALLY asked what we've all been asking all season long. Caitlin takes about 11 shots a game; the greatest scorer in college history takes 11 shots a game. She should be taking 15 to 20 shots a game. As a comparison Arike Ogunbowale has taken as few as 11 shots one time. As a contrast she's normally a big chucker. One time she shot 27 times, another two times she shot 28 times, and another time she shot 30 times. No wonder she's second in points per game among all the players. Can you imagine if Caitlin shot the ball 30 times? She's never going to be able to do that on a Sides-coached team.

Erica Wheeler is the one your talking about and it’s true Wheeler won’t pass the ball to anyone she’s a ball hog you might say along with Kelsey Mitchell selfish Caitlin pass to everyone to get the points. I’m from North Liberty, Iowa I’m about 15 minutes away from Carver Hawkeye arena. I would be pissed too if I was Caitlin she’s not a good coach at all she let go of C Taylor who didn’t play at all she was great at Ohio state playing defense and that’s what Indiana needs. I wish Sides would had got Monika Czinano who played with Caitlin at Iowa they were great together she can catch the ball Mitchell can’t. But Christie Sides is jealous petty of Caitlin she’s always blaming the team or Caitlin. Let me say this to you her dad was a coach and she listens to her dad show respect for the game, your teammates and for your coach she did what the coach asked her to do. I think she thought oh fuck this we aren’t gonna win anyhow so I’ll give it to Boston. She’s a phenomenal player when she can play her way. Sides needs to go.

I just went back and watched the video that you were talking about, and read the comments 😂 I can’t tell how long you have been watching Caitlin. When she was at Iowa she could do no wrong and she would have taken the shot you’re talking about. There is something very wrong with what is going on. With every game she passes more and never gets the ball back. I think it’s the coach not Caitlin’s fault at all. That coach sucks. But I’m not really sure if there are any good coaches in the WNBA. The coach has never been a head coach of any kind ever. Anyway the reason Angel had such a good game is Boston covered the tall bitch, Smith covered Angel and did horrible! That’s the coaches fault. If she would have switched smith with Boston the Fever win the game big. Caitlin I think is very disappointed and scared to fuck up. All eyes are on her now. The coach badmouths her at press conferences, unprofessional.

Lets look at the facts: Reese had an excellent game. Carter had an excellent game. Why? Smith was dominated by Reese in every aspect and was struggling. What did Sides do? (Notice that I did not say Coach) Absolutely nothing, zero defensive adjustment from start to finish. Mitchell got owned by Carter. What did Sides do? Again, absolutely nothing, zero defensive adjustment from start to finish. They have a bench that is actually good and could be excellent with playing time and experience, but no, we can't have that in the game because they might actually play unselfish ball and make Clark the true leader of the team. Instead what we have is Mitchell taking the majority of the shots. Mitchell is a good player, but she is streaky at best and is not the one that should be shooting the most. Then there is Wheeler, why she ever see anything but the bench is beyond me and anyone with eyes and knowledge of the game. Yet, in the 4th quarter Wheeler has control of the offense (absolutely disgusting). Instead of relying on Clark and have the ball in what is supposed to be a franchise player we watched a 15 point lead go down the drain. That is completely inexcusable!! Clark is by far the best player. Look at her numbers even though she is being handcuffed by Sides. The 3rd quarter alone shows that Clark has the teams best interest. She has a basketball IQ that is unrivaled. Her and AB alone destroyed the Sky in the 3rd. Fire Sides immediately. She shouldn't be coaching a pee wee league much less in the WNBA.

New to the channel. I like your commentary. I only started watching the WNBA because I am a Caitlin Clark fan. I began watching her when she played at IOWA and I could immediately see a Champion! You asked about Christy Sides background. I've been an official hater! So I had to look it up. - Sides grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and attended Central Private High School. She played basketball and was named the Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year for her senior year. She finished her high school career with 3,375 points.[2] Following her high school career, she attended Ole Miss and Louisiana Tech. While at Louisiana Tech, Sides helped the Lady Techsters reach the 1999 Final Four. Sides has previously been an assistant coach for the Fever, Chicago Sky, and Atlanta Dream in the league. She has also coached at the collegiate level.

I encourage you to watch a video done by a channel titled “awful coaching” the dude is a little intense. He breaks down the Fevers coaching staff, he focuses a lot on CC defense and offensive plays. I don’t think this is a stretch, but CC needs a lot of help defensively, yes she gets steals and some blocks. Fundamentally she really bad. Offensively she doesn’t allow screens to be set and on the flip side AB, Smith and Samuelson don’t set screens very well. On pick rolls she is getting rid of the ball too early. This might be contributed to Christi Sides stating early in her WNBA career, that CC needs to get rid of the ball earlier. On a pick roll the big needs to commit to the person with the ball in order for it to be effective, so that the smaller defender has to now guard the big that just set the screen. Time is what CC needs and she will develop. Christi Sides isn’t getting fired halfway through the season. Lynn Dunn is in the hall of fame. She does know what she is doing with a championship in 2012, I think. IMO Sides isn’t the right fit for CC. Sides relies on low post players.
