The Indiana Fever announced a roster move that has fans wanting head coach Christie Sides fired from her job.

The second-year head coach has made questionable moves in her young career, most notably with Caitlin Clark, but her decision to cut Celeste Taylor from the team has led to a ton of controversy, per ESPN.com.

The Indiana Fever saw their season-long four-game win streak come to an end when they lost to the Chicago Sky. Following that loss, the team waived Taylor less than a week after her birthday.

Taylor was the Fever’s No. 15 overall pick from the 2024 WNBA draft.

Following the release, fans took to social media and demanded that Christie Sides be fired for this move.

Christie Sides has been blasted many times this year for her coaching decisions and it continued on sunday when the team went away from getting Caitlin Clark shots in crunch time against the Sky and squandered away a huge lead that broke their winning stream.

Caitlin Clark can do a lot of things, but she certainly cannot hide her frustration.

The Fever’s star rookie seemed to disagree with coach Christie Sides late during the team’s 88-87 loss to the Sky on Sunday. Video from the game shows her rolling her shoulders and throwing her hands up while speaking with the coach on the sidelines.

Clark basically disappeared in the fourth quarter as the Fever choked away a 15-point lead. That also included the final play when she served as the inbounds passer.
