Caitlin Clark and her Coach

 

Caitlin Clark has left fans in disbelief after lifting the lid on what it’s like playing under Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides.

 

Caitlin Clark and her Coach

Clark, the No. 1 pick at this year’s WNBA Draft, is enjoying a whirlwind rookie season with the Fever after breaking a host of records in her historic college career in Iowa.

While she has been at the center of widespread controversy off it, the 22-year-old is already justifying the hype on the court, leading the way for rookies when it comes to points per game with 16.2.

And remarkably, it seems she is earning her stripes up in the big leagues without much guidance on the court.

Following Indiana’s 89-77 defeat to the Seattle Storm on Friday night, Clark was asked about the best piece of in-game advice she has received from a veteran teammate so far this season.

Yet her stunning response has opened Sides up for fierce criticism on social media.

‘Nobody gives me advice in game. I wish,’ she admitted.

Despite the initial question being about Clark’s teammates, fans quickly took to X to call out Sides and question her influence as a coach.

One wrote: ‘@fever Remind me again…Why is @ChristieSides the Head Coach again?’

‘Sides needs to go,’ another user commented.

A third posted: ‘oh christie sides count your days’.

A fourth put: ‘the COACH could do that…’

While one simply said: ‘Goodbye “Coach” Sides’.

During last Sunday’s defeat to the Chicago Sky, a clip of Clark appearing to argue with Sides on the court surfaced on social media.

It proved a disappointing night for Indiana after they surrendered the lead in the final two-and-a-half minutes of the game and failed to claw it back, with Angel Reese, Chennedy Carter and Camilla Cardoso inspiring Chicago to victory late on.

As the hosts finished strong at Wintrust Arena, Clark failed to make an impact in the latter stages of the game after choosing to pass to teammates on several occasions instead of going for glory herself.

Incredibly, the former college sensation only took two shots in the final seven minutes, despite being one of the greatest shooters in women’s basketball for many a year.

Fans fumed over her lack of involvement in the fourth quarter, with some calling on Clark to be more ‘selfish’ and others pointing the finger at Sides’ tactics.

And as Sunday’s game drew to a close, the aforementioned pair had what looked like a heated exchange on the court.

Clark could be seen gesturing furiously with her right arm out while talking with Sides, before the Fever coach responded to her complaints.

Her player didn’t seem too pleased with the response, however, and instead threw both arms out before sighing to make her frustrations known.

One user suggested on social media: ‘Christie Sides & Caitlin Clark were arguing towards the end of the game. Clark didn’t like the game plan from Sides.

‘This is going to be an issue because Christie Sides went away from the pick & roll, Chicago was having an issue stopping it. Indiana would have won this game’.
