Dan Dakich torches Fever coach Stephanie White for her pre-game remarks: "Dumbest coach I've ever seen"

Dan Dakich UNLOADS on Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White for her embarrassing backpedaling after failing to stand up for Sophie Cunningham following Chicago Sky star DiJonai Carrington's flagrant foul.

Reactions are pouring in after Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White's pregame remarks on Tuesday night ahead of her team's 106-92 win over the New York Liberty.

Now, OutKick's Dan Dakich — who knows a thing or two about a thing or two when it comes to coaching — is giving his take on it in the latest edition of "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich."

White has been criticized multiple times this season for not sticking up for her players, especially after hard fouls on Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.

"Somebody knocks your player on their ass with a flagrant foul, and if you are in a situation where the media will ask you about it, you always lead with defending your players," Dakich said. "That is not what Stephanie White did. That is not what Stephanie White does, but she claims that she does."

White's "impassioned" plea included her saying that she did not see the foul DiJonai Carrington of the Chicago Sky committed against Cunningham, which, as Dakich noted, misses the point.

"Again, this is why you are a minor league coach," he said of White. "This is why you don't need to see it, honey, you don't. You don't need to see it. You simply need to know that your player got clotheslined, and you come in, and you defend your player.

"It's the same thing with the Alyssa Thomas throat punch."
