"This has not been easy," White told ESPN on her departure from Connecticut. "But certainly, at the end of the day, it's tough for me being away from my family. So from a professional standpoint and a personal standpoint, I feel like it's the best decision."
White, who spent the past two seasons as head coach of the Connecticut Sun, takes over a franchise led by WNBA star Caitlin Clark. Building around a promising young core in Clark and Aliyah Boston, the last two No. 1 overall draft picks, White will look to propel Indiana to the organization's first championship since 2012.
White went 55-25 with consecutive semifinals appearances in her most recent stint with the Sun, winning WNBA coach of the year in 2023.
The organization announced it was moving on from Sides, who had just ended her second season at the helm, on Sunday. The Sun announced Monday that White was out after two seasons with the team.
