The 47-year-old White returns to Indiana as a far more experienced coach than the one who left in 2016 just two seasons into her head coaching career with a record of 37-31. She spent the next four-plus seasons as Vanderbilt's head coach, compiling a 46-83 mark before taking a year off and eventually returning to the WNBA with the Connecticut Sun.

Former Purdue star Stephanie White has been named the next coach of the Indiana Fever, replacing Christie Sides. This will be her second stint with the Fever.

After rehiring Kelly Krauskopf — who was the general manager of the Indiana Fever from 2000 to 2017 — in September to be the president of basketball operations, the Fever are getting the whole band back together with Stephanie White as the new (old) head coach. The team announced the move Friday.
