Controversial sports analyst wants Caitlin Clark's coach fired as he claims she's in on plot to 'destroy' star player

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White is part of a secret plot to 'destroy Caitlin Clark' and should be fired by the WNBA team, according to controversial podcaster Jason Whitlock.

The Fever suffered a miserable defeat to expansion franchise the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday night, which marked their second loss on the bounce after they were beaten by 11th-place Western Conference team the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday.

In the game against Golden State, White gave more minutes to newly-signed guard Aari McDonald, who was brought in via emergency hardship last month amid injuries to Clark and Sophie Cunningham.

McDonald failed to impress on the night, putting up just seven points as the Fever slumped to another defeat.

And Whitlock believes White putting the 26-year-old in the team disrupted Clark's partnership with teammate Aliyah Boston on the court, which he claims was part of a plot to 'destroy' Indiana's star player.

'At this point you have to consider the possibility that the Indiana Fever are in on the plot to destroy Caitlin Clark,' the conservative commentator said in a video on X.

'Stephanie White is an idiot, should be fired. This woman played Aari McDonald 18 minutes in the first half.

'Three weeks ago Aari McDonald wasn't on a WNBA roster. The entire Fever roster is healthy and Aari McDonald plays 18 minutes in the first half, throws the chemistry between Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston completely out the window, they get beat by 19 points by an expansion team at home.

'There is a plot to destroy Caitlin Clark, and Stephanie White and the Indiana Fever might be in on it.'

Whitlock then went on to aim a bizarre dig at White over her relationship with ESPN reporter Lisa Salters.

'Stephanie White, someone needs to walk her into a room and say, "Hey look here baby girl, I know you and Lisa Salters got this thing going on, but Aari McDonalds is not Lisa Salters' daughter,' he continued. '"That's not her niece, that's not her daughter, that's not a baby version of Lisa Salters. That's a woman that should be lucky she's on a WNBA roster, ain't no way she should be in our starting lineup."

'This is a joke and a disaster of a season. I don't know if it's fixable. They all hate Caitlin Clark.'
