Caitlin Clark benched, Christie Sides rips Fever after another brutal game
NY Post
Christie Sides has a Fever and the only prescription is more effort.
Indiana’s coach benched Caitlin Clark and three other starters for the final 14-plus minutes of Monday’s 89-72 loss to the Sun, according to the Indianapolis Star, before ripping blasting them for their defense.
Clark played a career-low 22 minutes in the blowout loss.
“I’m gonna start with — you can’t, at this level, coach effort,” Sides said after the Fever fell to 3-10. “I thought we were just trying to ask them to keep playing hard. You can’t start there, you can’t play in this league if you have to coach effort. It’s just too hard.”
Sides benched Clark with 4:41 left in the third quarter after watching her team fall behind by 27 points in another Matador-esque defensive performance.
Indiana allowed Connecticut to shoot 46.2 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from 3.
