Stephanie White, the Indiana Fever's head coach, has been actively involved with the U.S. women's national basketball team. As a court coach, she recently helped lead Team USA to a perfect 5-0 record in the 2026 FIBA World Cup qualifying tournament. This significant achievement occurred during the offseason for her WNBA team, with the Fever's season set to begin on May 9.
Caitlin Clark, making her senior debut for Team USA, was a standout performer, earning MVP honors in the qualifying tournament. Despite these successes, Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese have been notably excluded from the latest Team USA training camp roster. This camp, held in April, features players like Paige Bueckers, Sabrina Ionescu, and Napheesa Collier.
The Indiana Fever organization publicly congratulated White on her role with the national team, highlighting her continued contributions.

Her coaching expertise is being leveraged by the national program while preparing for major international competitions.
