Skip Bayless facing backlash after reporting Stephanie White fired by Fever
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White and superstar guard Caitlin Clark were involved in a heated exchange on Saturday night as they suffered a 100-84 loss to the Portland Fire. It was Indiana’s biggest loss of the season, dropping them to 4-4 after two straight losses.
White and Clark were seen exchanging words on the bench during a timeout as the Fever faced a 21-point deficit. The veteran coach then signaled rookie Raven Johnson to take Clark’s place on the bench. The two-time All-Star, who was struggling with foul trouble throughout the contest, stood up and shook her head in frustration.
The heated incident drew significant attention online. So much so that well-known sports personality Skip Bayless decided to jump on the issue at hand. The 74-year-old commentator, however, appears to have jumped the gun by reporting that the Fever have fired White.
“No surprise: Stephanie White reportedly out after repeated in-game clashes with Caitlin Clark,” Bayless posted on X. “Not saying White was wrong – but YOU CAN’T SHOW UP THE FACE OF THE LEAGUE ON CAMERA. Caitlin obviously wants a favorite of hers from Iowa, Jan Jensen. But no way Jensen can coach both.”

Bayless appears to have picked up his information from a known troll page on X, Fever Updates, which is known for peddling fake news. Fever Updates posted multiple “updates” indicating that the Fever front office had decided to part ways with White. One of its “reports” stated that Jan Jensen, Clark’s former coach at Iowa, is set to take over as Indiana’s head coach.
Fans slam Skip Bayless over Stephanie White report
Fans were not at all pleased with Bayless over his latest post.
As of writing, there have been no confirmed reports about the team firing White. Fever reporter Chloe Peterson reported on X that “there is absolutely no validity” to Bayless’ report.
