Sports commentator Jason Whitlock has suggested that the WNBA’s Indiana Fever should drop their white female head coach and replace her with a black man to better manage talented white players like Caitlin Clark.
Whitlock feels that Director Christy Sides is out of control and has no idea what to do with Caitlin Clark.
“Coaches are finding themselves in situations that are out of their control through no fault of their own,” Whitlock said on a recent show. Fearless Podcast.
“The WNBA roster is dominated by black women, and a white woman trying to coach Kaitlyn Clark is a hell of a combination. It’s not going to work,” he added.
The Indiana Fever need a new coach, but it’s not the coach’s fault. A white woman trying to coach WNBA player Caitlin Clark on a predominantly black team is the edge of hell. They need a black male coach. pic.twitter.com/ridnKvVPtQ

In fact, Whitlock argued that Sides’ race was a particular problem in treating Clark appropriately.
Whitlock noted that if Sides “gives the right instructions to the players, a few women will rebel, call her racist and say the whole thing is pandering to Caitlin Clark. They’ll play the racism card. I think we need a black male coach.”
Sports commentators have suggested the Fever replace Sides with former Warriors coach Mark Jackson.
“He went there and told the black people [players]”Look, this is how we play,” Whitlock explained.
“Kaitlyn Clark is here. This is what we’re going to do. Call me racist. Call me sexist. Call me Uncle Tom. We’re going to play for Kaitlyn Clark. We’re going to play in a way that makes sense for her,” Whitlock said Jackson would be able to tell his players if he were to take over the Fever.
Whitlock also pointed out that Clark’s Fever teammate, Kelsey Mitchell, also wasn’t treated appropriately because she’s not a team player and “plays totally differently than everyone else on the court.”
