Watch Fever coach Stephanie White's fiery speech about WNBA political climate: 'Everybody else can go to hell'
Here's a look at White's full speech from Tuesday evening's pregame media availability.
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White delivered a passionate speech ahead of the team's game against the New York Liberty, defending her players and criticizing those causing strife within the WNBA. White, in her third season as Indiana's head coach, previously led the Fever to the WNBA semifinals last year despite various injuries.
The speech, which replaced her pregame media availability, focused on the recent controversies involving her players, Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark. In the wake of a hard foul on Cunningham and the suggestion that White doesn't always defend her players, White closed her speech with a defiant remark: "Everybody else can go to hell."
