“We’re working to be successful. Playoffs are always the minimum goal.”–Head Coach Pokey Chatman to Howard Megdal, Locked on Women’s Basketball podcast
Now well into the post-Tamika Catchings era, the Indiana Fever must create a new identity. The franchise has long seen the playoffs as a given. However, last year, the Fever finished with a 9-25 record, resulting in the absence of playoffs for the first time in 12 seasons. This year, offseason reconfiguration and the addition of the 2018 rookies should make for a better record for Indiana and even create a path to the playoffs.
