Indiana basketball royalty Reggie Miller isn’t one to mince words when it comes to greatness, and his latest tweet has the basketball world buzzing. The former sharpshooter reacted with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for a buzzer-beater after catching a glimpse of Caitlin Clark’s first workout with the Indiana Fever’s new head coach, Stephanie White.
“LOVE the attention to details,” Miller gushed on social media. “Really believe Coach Stephanie White will unlock even more of @caitlinclark22 game. Excited for my @indianafever.”
Miller isn’t the only one excited about the White-Clark alliance. The Fever’s official accounts lit up on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube, showcasing a short but electrifying clip of Clark putting in work with her new coach. Fans immediately jumped on the hype train, their reactions ranging from pumped-up predictions to poetic odes of basketball admiration.
“Yesss, gonna be one heck of a season,” one fan commented.
“The road to her 1st MVP & title in 2025 starts now…” another chimed in, channeling clairvoyant vibes.
Indiana Fever’s Bold Move: Enter Stephanie White
Clark, who bagged Rookie of the Year honors and casually finished fourth in the MVP race last season, was instrumental in dragging the Fever into the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Yet, despite a fairytale turnaround, former head coach Christie Sides got the boot quicker than a coach in a New York Knicks playoff exit. Enter Stephanie White—a name that echoes familiarity and success in Hoosier territory.
White’s connection to the Fever runs deep. She played for the team from 2000 to 2004, and during her first head coaching stint (2015-2016), the Fever didn’t just make the playoffs—they lived there. After a brief foray with the Connecticut Sun, White has returned to Indiana, citing family reasons. The Fever wasted no time, swooping in faster than Caitlin Clark spotting an open three-pointer.
Clark + White = Fireworks?
The pairing of Clark, the Fever’s golden girl, with White, a proven playoff operator, has fans imagining banners and trophies in the Fever’s not-so-distant future. While Clark was already dropping jaws last season, White’s track record of squeezing every last ounce of talent from her players has even skeptics intrigued.
Reggie Miller, ever the optimist for his home state, isn’t shy about what he expects. His excitement oozes with the kind of swagger he used to bring when silencing Madison Square Garden. Miller believes this duo could make magic, tweeting, “Game recognizes game.”
Fans Fuel the Fever Hype Train
If social media reactions are anything to go by, the Fever’s first-round playoff exit last season is officially old news. Fans are ready to see Clark climb to MVP heights and lead the Fever to championship glory.
“Love seeing these men support women’s sports!” one fan wrote, referencing Miller’s shoutout.
Another chimed in with, “That’s where we need to stop it at: ‘game recognizes game.’ Everything else… out the window!”
Even fans of Reggie Miller’s family joined the fun: “Huge fan of him and his sister,” one wrote, sneaking in a nod to Cheryl Miller, the GOAT of women’s basketball conversations.
2025: A Season of High Stakes and Higher Hopes
With Clark already proving herself as a generational talent and White returning to Indiana with unfinished business, the Fever are primed for a wild ride. Sure, it’ll take more than just these two to clinch the elusive championship—hello, supporting roster—but fans and basketball purists alike are salivating at what’s to come.
As for Reggie Miller, he’s already penciled in “Fever games” on his 2025 calendar. The rest of us might as well follow suit because if this workout video is anything to go by, the Fever are cooking up something special. Stay tuned—the Caitlin Clark show, now featuring Stephanie White, is just getting started.
