Fever Star Reveals Funny Practice Incident Between Caitlin Clark, Christie Sides
In this story:
There appears to be no indication that Christie Sides had a strained relationship with Caitlin Clark, or any of her now-former Indiana Fever players, for that matter. By all accounts, it appears that the organization’s decision to fire her was made because of the team’s desire to have someone sit at the helm who is more capable of leading the Fever to a championship.
This does not mean, however, that there were no tense moments between Sides and her former players during her tenure as the team’s head coach. After all, this is how relationships between coaches and players ought to work. A coach can’t always agree with everything his or her players say or do — and vice versa.

In a recent interview on “The Ringer WNBA Show,” Fever star Lexie Hull opened up about one particular incident during practice wherein Sides and Clark had the rest of the team “dying.” Apparently, Clark didn’t like how Sides was playing loud music, and the Fever rookie made sure to let her feelings about it known.
“There was one practice, Christie turns on loud music,” Hull said. “Because … we knew the [opposing] arena was going to be loud. And so she turns on this loud, loud music, and Caitlin screams, ‘Can someone turn it off? It’s giving me a migraine.’
“And everyone’s like, ‘Uh, what?’ And Christie reacted and said, ‘What did you say?’ And [Clark] repeated it. And all of us were all dying because if someone, if I would have said that, if anyone on our team would have said that, and then been asked, ‘What did you say?’ And you repeat it — no one else is repeating it. But she did.”
Hull did say that it was the “funniest thing” and that the players were all “rolling on the ground laughing.”
That’s now all water under the bridge for Indiana, which is on the hunt for its next head coach.
