Indiana Fever coach defends player after ejection for foul on opponent

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White said she did not think DiJonai Carrington intentionally targeted Sophie Cunningham with a hard foul that led to Carrington's ejection, but she called the incident "egregious" after seeing the replay. White initially told reporters she did not believe the foul was deliberate, then clarified her stance on Tuesday when the video became available. Fever president Kelly Krauskopf responded to criticism of White, stating the coach has "done a tremendous job leading the Fever" and has the full support of the organization as the team pursues a playoff position.
