"She's ruining her shot" - Caitlin Clark Fans Accuse Stephanie White of "Sabotaging" Fever Star After Latest Remark

NBA fans reacted to Stephanie White's latest remark about Caitlin Clark. On Friday, the Indiana Fever coach appeared on the "Bird's Eye" podcast and showered praise on Clark's work ethic, comparing her to Taylor Swift.

"With Caitlin, she's a hard worker because of what she's been able to accomplish. But until you see that there's no wasted movements, no wasted reps, no wasted anything, you just have such a level of respect for how she goes about her work every day and understanding the spotlight that she's on, understanding the weight that she carries because of who she is. She's literally like Taylor Swift 2.0," White explained.

However, fans were unimpressed with White's comments, with some suggesting that she was ruining Clark's shot by having her work on it.

"How dare she imply that Caitlin still has stuff to work on. She's ruining her shot by making her work on it. She injured herself by working last year. Steph White is the devil and is intentionally sabotaging her. Did you know she had a bad record at Vanderbilt? OUTRAGE. Am I doing this right?"

"I HATE Stephanie White. She was hired by Cathy to diminish her. First trained her wrong & changed her shot. Put her in games while hurt. Took her off ball. Messed with her head. Fire this witch. She is controlling her much like a stalker. We want our Rookie CC back."

@BEVpod_ I don't believe her or @S10Bird, look at the goofy offense she runs, without CC as primary ball handler. Sue Bird suffers from Clark envy. A has been,that will never except CC as the chosen one. Even though CC is the all time leading scorer in NCAA history!

Others hoped for Stephanie White to allow Clark to flourish once she returns next season.

Stephanie White on Caitlin Clark's competitiveness

When the Indiana Fever hired Stephanie White and strengthened their roster for the 2025 season, the message was clear: they wanted to be the top team in the league. However, Caitlin Clark's injury scuppered their plans.

During her appearance on Sue Bird's podcast, White said that Clark remains the centerpiece of the team and that she wanted to earn the Fever star's trust when she took over.

"I'm a firm believer that you have to coach and challenge your best players, and for me to be able to do that, I needed to earn her trust," White said. "I'm also the same kind of psycho that she is, in terms of competitiveness."

The focus next season will once again be on Clark when she returns from injury. White will need to address Clark's struggles on offense and how to maximize her star player while making winning her top priority.
