Jason Whitlock wants Stephanie White to fix her ‘little tantrum’ on Fever amid Team USA success

Stephanie White urged to bring her Team USA version to the Indiana Fever.

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White has faced a plethora of criticism over her handling of WNBA players before the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup.

In fact, many Fever fans demanded that the organization part ways with White, particularly for her poor handling of superstar Caitlin Clark.

However, according to Jason Whitlock, White has redeemed herself during her time as an assistant coach for Team USA under Kara Lawson.

As an assistant coach, White played a solid role in Team USA winning its fifth straight gold medal at the tournament.

Whitlock, who has heavily criticized White over her coaching techniques in the WNBA, threw a backhanded compliment at her after Team USA’s success.

“I’m no fan of Steph White. But I have no problem giving her credit when she’s right. She did a great job with Team USA,” Whitlock said on X.

He added, “And we should all reevaluate her methods with the Fever. I still don’t like the way she defended non-Fever players and her little tantrum.”

Whitlock was unclear about which methods of White on Team USA he loved, but he’s certain she needs to bring the same energy for Fever players.
