Tensions ran high during Sunday’s matchup between the Indiana Fever and the Seattle Storm, culminating in a heated exchange between the two head coaches in the final moments of the game. As the clock wound down, Fever coach Christie Sides and Storm coach Noelle Quinn engaged in a verbal confrontation on the sideline, likely sparked by Indiana’s decision to keep their starters on the floor even after Seattle had pulled theirs, with the game clearly slipping away from the Storm.
Amidst the escalating situation, Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark seemed eager to voice her opinion.
As the exchange between Sides and Quinn intensified, the Gainbridge Fieldhouse Jumbotron captured a moment where Clark appeared to direct some sharp words at the opposing team. The footage seemed to show Clark telling the Storm players to “stop crying” as they joined the passionate conversation between their coaches.

This wasn’t Clark’s only moment of controversy during the game.
Earlier, she received a technical foul, adding to her tally for the season. With each technical foul bringing her closer to a potential suspension, Clark will need to be cautious about her conduct on the sidelines.
While her fiery competitiveness is part of what makes her a standout player, she’ll have to balance that intensity with the discipline required to avoid unnecessary penalties as the season progresses.
