Taking the coaching reigns from her longtime mentor Lin Dunn, she succeeds Dunn, Brian Winters, Nell Fortner and Anne Donovan as the club’s head coach. A local star who joined the Fever as a player during a 1999 trade prior to the team’s first season, White completed four seasons with the Fever (2000-01, 2003-04) before embarking on her coaching and broadcasting career. She returned as an Indiana assistant coach in 2011 and was elevated to the role of associate head coach prior to the 2014 season. One of the club’s original players and a member of the Fever’s AllDecade Team announced in 2009, the Fever’s 2012 WNBA title had special meaning for White who enjoyed prep, college and pro success in the state of Indiana. She has coached in the college and pro ranks since 2003. She retired from playing in the WNBA following the 2004 season and her hiring in 2011 marked the first time the Fever had hired an assistant coach with pro playing experience. She was reunited with Dunn, the former Purdue coach who recruited White to its West Lafayette campus. Prior to re-joining the Fever, White spent four seasons as an assistant coach with the Chicago Sky after previous stints as a college assistant at Ball State (2003-04), Kansas State (2004-05) and Toledo (2005-07). White also has parlayed her playing and coaching into a prominent broadcasting career with the Big Ten Network, ESPN and FOX Sports Indiana. She appears regularly on BTN’s women’s basketball studio show and provides game analysis for women’s college games on BTN and ESPN. During the 2013-14 NBA season, she began work as a pre- and postgame anchor with FOX Sports Indiana, covering the Indiana Pacers. After leading Purdue to a national championship in 1999 and being drafted by the Charlotte Sting (2nd round, No. 21 overall), White was eventually acquired by the Fever in December 1999 to lead her hometown team into its first season of existence. White played four seasons with the Fever where she was a teammate of current Fever star Tamika Catchings. A 5-10 shooting guard, she played five pro seasons between 1999-04, capping her career with the Fever for whom she was one of the club’s top playmakers, 3-point artists and free throw shooters. She still ranks prominently among franchise leaders in games played, minutes, 3-pointers, assists, steals, 3-point percentage and free throw percentage. Her 93 percent free throw shooting in 2003 remains a Fever record. White’s legacy as a prep and college star made her one of the state’s most popular figures even before she donned a Fever uniform. Beginning at tiny Seeger Memorial High School, in West Central Indiana near the Illinois border, White set early standards for basketball excellence while becoming an Indiana icon. She averaged 36.9 points and 13.1 rebounds per game while being named Indiana Miss Basketball and the 1995 national high school player of the year by Gatorade and USA Today. THE FRANCHISE: CONSISTENCY & EXCELLENCE Record crowds began following the small-school sensation as she led the Patriots to a 92-7 record over four seasons and finished her prep career with an Indiana record 2,869 points, still the second-best figure in state history. In Indiana’s years of single-class basketball, White and Seeger won sectional and regional titles in all four seasons that she played. At Purdue, she averaged double-figure scoring in four straight seasons. As a senior she averaged 20.2 points and 4.5 assists per game while earning the 1999 Wade Trophy as the national college player of the year. The Big Ten Player of the Year, she led Purdue to an unbeaten league mark (16-0) and its first NCAA title. She finished her career second in school history in points and assists. She was inducted into the Purdue Athletics Hall of Fame on April 21, 2006. Internationally, White competed with USA Basketball as a member of the 1997 Jones Cup Team that won a silver medal in Taipei, Taiwan. The USA lost the gold medal game against South Korea, 76-71, with White finishing the tournament as the second-leading scorer for the U.S., averaging 10.3 points per game. Born in Danville, Ill., and raised in West Lebanon, Ind., White gave birth to her first child, Landon Fletcher White, on Sept. 27, 2011 — the morning of Game 3 of the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals. White and partner Michelle welcomed twin boys, Aiden and Avery, on Aug. 3, 2013.

The Fever usher in a new WNBA Playoffs format with the No. 5 seed overall and a first-round matchup against Western Conference foe Phoenix. The last time Indiana and Phoenix met in the playoffs was an epic, 5-game Finals series in 2009. RED WINGS, SPURS AND FEVER The Fever’s 12 straight appearances (2005-16) extend their own WNBA record and represent the third-longest active playoff streak among major American professional sports leagues (Detroit Red Wings, 25; San Antonio Spurs, 19). The Fever’s 12-year mark is longer than any playoff streak in NFL or MLS history, and longer than only the Atlanta Braves (14) and New York Yankees (13) in MLB history. NINE IN-A-ROW -- WNBA RECORD Indiana has earned at least one playoff win in nine consecutive seasons (every year since 2007). The streak is unmatched in WNBA Playoffs history. 9 6 6 6 Indiana, 2007-Present Connecticut, 2003-2008 Sacramento, 2003-2008 Los Angeles, 1999-2004 FEVER FAREWELLS The foundation of the Indiana Fever franchise was built very early in President and GM Kelly Krauskopf’s tenure with the club, dating to its original season. During the 2000 WNBA Expansion Draft, she traded for Hoosier icon Stephanie White. One year later, she drafted Tamika Catchings No. 3 in the annual amateur draft. Together, White and Catchings have left deep impressions on the franchise - on and off the court. Selected in 2001, Catchings has been a constant force on the playing floor from 2002 to 2016. White wore the Fever uniform from 2000 to 2005, then returned in 2011 as an assistant coach. She was associate head coach in 2014 and has led the Fever to the playoffs in each of 2015 and 2016 as head coach. White made just one playoff appearance as a player, as a rookie in 1999 with the Charlotte Sting. As a coach, last year she became the first rookie head coach in league history to reach the WNBA Finals. Catchings’ history is well documented. In WNBA Playoffs history, she is the league’s career leader in points, rebounds, assists, steals and games played. Both will depart the Fever franchise after the current playoffs season - Catchings to retirement and White to lead the Vanderbilt Commodores. DOUBLE-DOUBLES LEADERBOARD Tamika Catchings is the WNBA’s all-time leader in playoff double-doubles. She has recorded a double-double in nearly 40 percent of her career playoff games, posting 26 in 67 career playoff appearances. Even at 36 years-old in the 2015 playoffs, Catchings had double-double efforts twice during the WNBA Finals.

Overall, Indiana is 16-10 all-time in elimination contests, including an 11-2 record at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Fever forced a deciding Game 5 in the WNBA Finals last year, knotting the series 2-2 with a 75-69 Game 4 win in Indianapolis. The Fever set a WNBA record with a 4-0 mark in elimination games en route to their first championship in 2012. Last year, Indiana was 5-0 before falling in Game 5 of the Finals at Minnesota. TAMIKA IN ELIMINATION GAMES In Indiana’s 12 elimination games since 2012, Catchings averages 19.4 (233) points and 8.2 (98) rebounds per game. She has eclipsed 20 points in seven of those 12 games and in six of Indiana’s nine wins. In Indiana’s nine elimination-game wins since 2012, Catchings has averaged 20.2 (182) points per game, and in the three losses, she averages 17.0 (51). WON 20 OF LAST 26 Since losing consecutive home games between the 2005 and 2006 postseasons, the Fever have lost just seven of their last 28 playoff games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse (21-7, .750).FEVER OVER ALMOST ROUTINE Moving past Chicago in three games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 2015, the Fever earned their fifth consecutive trip to the East Finals and its eighth in the past 11 years. The Fever own the WNBA standard for conference finals appearances in a 10-year span (7) -twice (tied with Los Angeles). For sake of comparison, the last NBA team to reach the conference finals at least seven times within 10 seasons was the Chicago Bulls, with eight appearances from 1989 to 1998. The Fever, with a trip to the semifinals round in 2016, would eclipse their own record with eight in a 10-year span. CATCHINGS AMONG POSTSEASON LEADERS Tamika Catchings became the league’s top postseason scorer and rebounder during the 2014 WNBA Playoffs, and the league leader in minutes played in 2015. Prior to last year, she already was the league’s all-time playoffs leader in free throws and steals. She is the only player in league history to rank in the Top 10 among career playoff leaders in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocked shots Catchings Among All-Time Playoffs Leaders Rank Games Played.............................................................. 1st (67) Games Started............................................................. 1st (66) Minutes Played....................................................... 1st (2,280) Field Goals Made....................................................... 1st (348) Field Goal Attempts.................................................. 2nd (822) 3-Point Field Goals Made............................................. 6th (81) Free Throws Made..................................................... 1st (351) Total Rebounds.......................................................... 1st (588) Assists...................................................................... 2nd (223) Steals 1st (149) Blocks......................................................................... 4th (62) Points..................................................................... 1st (2,280) INDIANA FEVER GAME NOTES SINCE ‘05: 12 STRAIGHT PLAYOFF BERTHS, 8-TIME EAST FINALIST, 3-TIME WNBA FINALIST, 2012 CHAMPION PLAYOFF-TESTED Four players still remain from Indiana’s 2012 championship team, and nine players have appeared on past Fever playoff teams. Eleven of 12 players, including trade acquisition and two-time champion Devereaux Peters, boast previous WNBA playoff experience. Indiana’s “Core 5” of Catchings (67), Coleman (27), January (43), Johnson (15) and Larkins (31) boast a combined 183 games of WNBA playoffs experience. Rookie Tiffany Mitchell is the only player without WNBA postseason experience entering the postseason.

Fast forward to the present, in four playoff seasons (29 games) with Indiana, she totals an AVERAGE of 9.1 points (258) and 9.4 (272) rebounds. Larkins had three double-doubles in four games in 2013 and another in 2014. She has seven in 29 postseason games overall. MOST IMPORTANTLY – Indiana is 19-10 in the playoffs with Larkins in the starting lineup, entering the lineup for the first time in Game 2 of the 2012 East Semis at Atlanta on Sept. 30, 2012. She made five starts for the Fever in the 2015 Playoffs as Indiana posted a 6-4 record. ABOVE THE AVERAGE Both Tamika Catchings and Erlana Larkins rank among the all-time leaders in career rebounding average in WNBA Playoffs history. Notably, since arriving in Indiana, Larkins has averaged 9.2 boards per game (239 in 26 games) with the Fever in past four postseasons. That figure would rank No. 4 on the list.

At Phoenix and Seattle, the Fever won for the first time this season, in both games, after trailing at intermission. MITCHELL’S MARK Tiffany Mitchell’s eight-game double-figure scoring streak set Indiana record for a rookie beginning her career. In fact, Mitchell’s streak to begin the season matches the longest in WNBA history by any rookie drafted No. 9 or later. Dominique Canty of Detroit, the 29th pick of the 1999 draft, also began her career with an 8-game double-digit scoring streak. By comparison, Tamika Catchings had just a two-game double-figure scoring streak to begin her career. Catchings’ 15-game double-digit streak later in her rookie season is the Fever standard for a rookie overall. Mitchell’s streak is second. Mitchell’s 15 games in double figures is the second-highest total by a Fever rookie: Catchings (29 in 2002), Natasha Howard (11 in 2014), Nadine Malcolm (10 in 2001) and Briann January (9 in 2009). She is bidding to become the 19th rookie in WNBA history ever to lead her team in scoring, and the first since Kayla McBride paced San Antonio in 2014. Since 2000, the lowest-drafted rookie to lead her team in scoring was Candice Dupree, who was drafted No. 6 by Chicago in 2006. The only rookie ever to lead her WNBA team in scoring after being drafted lower than No. 9 was Sandy Brondello (No. 34) with Detroit in the league’s second season in 1998.
