Look, Kathy had to showcase her brand new Sparkly franchise somehow, some way. And you mentioned Atlanta. There is Atlanta Dream versus the Phoenix Mercury. So that's Brittany Griner versus her former team. I'm on that one. I'm like, I'm less into that storyline as much as I'm into. Those are two new look rosters on two teams that are very talented.

And I actually just think I'm interested in seeing this very good game between between the Dream and the Mercury. So anyway, I'll be tuned in. I will be sad. And I'm just going to give a clap to the league trying to further storylines, fandom, urgency, stickiness, whether it be through rivalry week or the commissioner's cup. I think it's all good for the game.

Hey, what's up? Good follow. This is Roz, and we have an exclusive sit-down interview with the new head coach of the Indiana Fever. She was the 2023 WNBA Coach of the Year, an NCAA champion, a baller herself, a WNBA champion, and my former broadcasting teammate. What's up, Stephanie White? What's going on? How are you? I'm good.

Yeah, for sure. I was, you know, looking up all of your history and stories and I'm like, this is a real indie gal. Like born in Indiana, you played your college ball in Indiana at Purdue. You played for the Fever in the WNBA along other stops. In coaching, you actually were an assistant coach with the Fever. And now here you are back as the head coach of the Indiana Fever.

Just how has Indiana shaped you and just been a backdrop for you over the course of your life story?

This is a true homecoming in every way of it. And not to continue to use cliches, but it took a village. Yes. And it says a lot about you that pretty much what you said was the whole hood. Everybody believes in you.

We were like, we're going to get Steph to her dreams. And you've absolutely done that as a player, as a coach. And you've been already a part of... history with the Indiana Fever franchise and organization. Before we talk about the present, I want to look at history because you actually overlapped as a player with the great Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings.

And as a coach, you were on the staff when that team won the WNBA championship, the only one in Fever history. So let's start with Tamika Catchings. Just like How did she influence the way you see the game and impact this franchise and set a tone for it?

And a terror, historic terror on defense, you know? But I think it's cool that you got to see two perspectives of her, like her early in her career and then later as a coach, you know, her fully blossomed as a player. And, you know, you've got an interesting roster that you're heading into as the head coach. And we like focus in on the now for the Indiana Fever roster.

You've got a unique locker room. It is undoubtedly super talented, but it's such a mashup of unique personalities. And I'll also say established storylines for each of these players. Like there aren't some players that like haven't figured out what they're about or like the storyline hasn't been created for them in the W. And you've got all of this coming into your locker room.
