The WNBA named Stephanie White the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month after leading the Indiana Fever to an 8-2 record throughout July. In the same span, White guided Indiana to a historic five-game streak where the team scored at least 100 points, the most in league history.
Indiana now boasts a 19-11 record, good for fifth in the WNBA standings. The Fever have the same record as the No. 4 Dallas Wings and are just two games behind the No. 2 Las Vegas Aces and No. 3 Golden State Valkyries.
When White was informed about her latest honor during Wednesday's practice, however, Caitlin Clark's reaction to the news turned a lot of heads.

In a video posted by the Fever, Lexie Hull announced White's Coach of the Month honor during a huddle. The news quickly drew cheers and applause from the players and the rest of the coaching staff.
Clark, for her part, decided to celebrate in a different way. As she cheered, she also performed a couple of high kicks to express her delight.
Her reaction highlighted her fun and goofy attitude, which many fans pointed out in the comments.
"CC w the high kicks lol this girl is still a kid haha," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "She's goofy."
"This girl still kicking high like a kid lol CC," a fan added.
A supporter shared, "Caitlin the teams kid. Love her, always be you!!!!"
"Let’s go coach! Also, CC’s Karate kicks," a follower stated.
"C.c is still young. People forget to that. Put in so much pressure on her. All she wants to do is joke around and play basketball," a sixth social media user noted.
