One day after the Indiana Feverfired coach Christie Sides, the Connecticut Sun split with their coach, Stephanie White — a former Fever player and coach who has been rumored as a potential name to fill the vacancy in Indiana.
Now the Sun, which White coached to a 55-25 regular season and 7-7 postseason record, will also be seeking a new coach after announcing the move Monday.
“We want to thank Stephanie for her time in Connecticut and her commitment to our organization over the past two seasons,” Sun president Jen Rizzotti said in a statement. “We wish her the best in her future endeavors.”
White, 47, led Connecticut to the semifinals in back-to-back seasons during her two-year tenure as the team’s coach. She was named the 2023 WNBA All-Star Game coach and earned WNBA and AP Coach of the Year accolades that season.
