Overview
- The WNBA announced Wednesday that Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White won Coach of the Month after the team went 8-2 in July.
- Indiana averaged a reported 101.0 points per game in July, a figure media coverage said was the highest single-month scoring average in league history.
- The Fever closed July with five straight wins in which they scored at least 105 points and extended a run of six games with 100 or more points, a run described in coverage as a new WNBA record.
- Kelsey Mitchell was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month and Caitlin Clark earned back-to-back Eastern Conference Player of the Week awards during the same stretch.
- The selection drew public disagreement from some fans who argued other coaches merited the honor and it arrives with Indiana sitting 19-11 and set to host the Las Vegas Aces, a matchup that will affect seeding and award narratives.
