Serious question, because I don’t know, is it tampering when it’s a coach? It seems like this is done all the time.

My favorite scenario for this has every game with Kate Martin playing leading in viewership.
*Not likely, I guess, because a lot of "Clark-only" fans that followed Clark into the WNBA didn't also follow Kate (and Gustafson) on the Aces, but still a scenario that would be cool/hilarious.
Then it’s basketball season. Literally any of the options, including the local high school game, is better than that.
It's well known now that White, the former Sun coach and the Fever have been in talks, and the mutual admiration between her and Clark. There are still some out there who have a bad taste in their mouth over the Carrington eye gouge. I haven't seen or heard of a reaction by either coach, and it hasn't affected relations with Clark or White, so it's a non-issue where I'm concerned.
You spend a lot of time on explaining that you will never watch something.
I just came here to say the same thing. Of his last 200 posts on this board, 199 are in threads about the WNBA. Jim, the first step in fixing your problem is admitting you have one.

Just heard that NaLyssa Smith wants to remain with the Fever. Please don't.
Cite? Not that I am questioning you I am curious to see the article/post/tweet
He's a credible source. He tells it like it is. and come playoff time he doesn't care who the players are on the Fever. No one is safe lol. I've watched him and others for quite awhile to see if I can see alignment between them, and reasonable dissenting discourse, and also weed out the one's who just want "Clicks".
Yes, I realize it’s “full court,” but it’s a court whose overall length has been shrunk by roughly 25%. You could argue that even with the reduction in space, making the game 3-on-3 will lead to a more wide open game. I look at it as greatly neutralizing what could be Caitlin’s greatest superpower of all—her get-ahead passes. You make it easier for opponents to get back in transition and you take away two of her options to beat you. I just don’t see how this plays into her strengths at all.
I agree with him, and have been saying it for awhile, that some of the changes she made mid season came from up high. Otherwise she would have kept starting Kristy Wallace.
Yep, probably an intervention.
Smith sucks. Wish we could have just traded her to Connecticut for Miller.
When I hear someone stopped following people on twitter, took them out of their bio, blah blah blah etc, I am now assuming you're most likely a complete childish moron. Guy in video nailed it.
Not about the WNBA. Strictly CC. Massive fan. Unfortunate so many jealous players hate her. But she’ll get the last laugh like she always does!I just came here to say the same thing.

I don't. It still keeps her passing game in play when they run 70ft. A true half court would squash that. That's why they nixed that to draw CC in.
This has been in planning for 2 years and implemented when CC was through college. No one can convince me otherwise.
I hope this makes a path for Kate to make the Fever team if they join up on a team in January and have success. The W feels scripted like a soap opera.
Well you anoy me and waste my time by douching it up on here. So with others confirming it, buh-bye. Go have a jerk session reading my post over an over.
I'm surprised they made this change for a rookie while she was still in college playing against 18 year old girls. CC hadn't yet experienced the reality of playing against grown women.
Why would it be tampering? She stated earlier her contract was up and she was looking at options with 3 or 4 teams, including the Sun.....
I did qualify my comment by stating what do I know. Another poster didn't think there is tampering when it comes to a head coach. My comment was surficial only, I've done precisely zero review of any articles on the timing of the move, her contract being up, etc.
Thats fine. I was just putting out there that Whites been shopping her services for a few weeks now...
Exactly! And she’s risking injury playing for an insignificant league nobody will remember. With some free agent players here and there quietly saying they’d play with Caitlin, things are really looking up for the Fever.
I feel like I follow Caitlin and the fever pretty closely, but I have not heard any free agents saying that. Names?
Maybe you're looking for words directly from the horse's mouth, however this should provide some insight to it.
"At one point, she made it clear that Indiana is already becoming a free agency destination this offseason.
"Absolutely," Dunn said when asked whether there are free agents who want to play with Caitlin Clark. "We're already starting to hear some initial conversations with some [agents of] free agents, letting [us] know that their player might be available for a trade or that they might be available in free agency.
"And that they would love to play with Clark," Dunn concluded.
While Dunn didn't name any specific players, one common name that has popped up among Fever fans is current Dallas Wings guard Satou Sabally, who would appear to be a perfect fit with Clark and superstar forward Aliyah Boston."

Everything I've read says she had a year left on her contract, but there was mutual agreement with the Sun brass on her moving on.
Absolutely AMAZING phenomenon going on with this Caitlin Clark effect. Have NEVER seen anything like this in the sports world, especially in womens sports...
I take it you have never heard of Serena Williams or Simone Biles or Martina Navratilova or Chris Evert.
Never going to take anything away from what Caitlin has accomplished, but damn, Jennifer Capriati was on the cover of every magazine and newspaper in basically the world before she was old enough to drive.
Will never understand why you all think that putting down the accomplishments of the women that have come before is some how lifting Caitlin up.
Damn…Mary Lou Retton

No one’s putting them down. Clark’s on another level. I don’t remember people wearing Navratilova shirts all over the place.
What an odd takeaway. Someone marvels about something they hadn’t seen before and what you read is a put down of prior athletes. Why not read that she just outshines other stars in the sky? Maybe others were born or did not bear witness to Martina, Chris, Jennifer, or Mary Lou?
To be fair, those names you listed off were all stars in individual event sports.
Clark is a star in a team sport, so standing out is quite a bit harder.
There are a few names in team sports that were similar. A few in basketball like Miller, Lobo, Leslie, and a small handful of others. Softball had Finch, who still has her name on equipment today. Soccer had Hamm and a few more recent ones.
Clark is already at, or above, the level of most of those after her rookie year. If this trajectory continues I think she’ll go down as the biggest star in women’s team sports at the very least. Just wait until you see the media hype in 2026 when she makes her first Olympics appearance. The big question will be, how good does Juju get because she could steal(and I don’t mean that negatively) some of the spotlight from Clark.
