Sides' dismissal has had fans and media members discussing where the Fever go next, as Indiana has one of the most attractive coaching vacancies in the WNBA. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4FcGZP_0wOR3PAP00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4FcGZP_0wOR3PAP00" width="1134" height="800" ><figcaption>UNCASVILLE, CONNECTICUT - MAY 14: Head coach Christie Sides of the Indiana Fever walks off the court after the loss to the Connecticut Sun at Mohegan Sun Arena on May 14, 2024 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
