Stephanie White
Assistant Coach
Stephanie White is in her second season as an assistant coach for the Indiana Fever. White, one of the original Fever players in 2000 and a member of the Fever’s All-Decade Team announced in 2009, has coached in the college and pro ranks since 2003. She retired from the WNBA following the 2004 season.

White’s hiring marked the first time the Fever has hired an assistant coach with pro playing experience. White was re-united with Fever Head Coach Lin Dunn, the former Purdue coach who recruited White to the West Lafayette campus.

Most recently, White spent four seasons as an assistant coach with the Chicago Sky after previous stints as a college assistant at Ball State, Kansas State and Toledo. White also has parlayed her playing and coaching into a broadcasting career with the Big Ten Network and ESPN. She appears regularly on BTN’s women’s basketball studio show and provides game analysis for both networks.

“I am very pleased to have Stephanie back with our franchise,” said Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Kelly Krauskopf, who executed a 1999 trade for White prior to the team’s inaugural season. “I think she is one of the brightest young coaches in women's basketball. I knew that her high basketball IQ would transfer into coaching from her playing career. She will be a terrific addition to our staff.”

“Stephanie is someone who is more than just a coach,” said Dunn. “What makes her so very valuable is that she’s not only had college and pro coaching experience, but she’s a former player. She has been a winner all her life.”
