Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has criticized contemporary coaching methods, calling for a return to "hard coaching" and accusing coaches of going soft.
The comments come after the Fever's game against the New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on August 22, 2026. Cunningham, wearing number 8, was photographed reacting to a call during the first half of that contest.
Details of Cunningham's specific remarks were not immediately available, but the headline suggests she believes current coaching approaches lack sufficient rigor.
