Stephen A. Smith roasts Stephanie White after DiJonai Carrington foul response: 'How are you the head coach?'

Stephen A.

Smith had some strong words to share about Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White, even questioning how she can be in her position.

The ESPN personality went on a rant calling out White for how she handled the aftermath of DiJonai Carrington’s Flagrant 2 foul on her Fever star, Sophie Cunningham , this past weekend.

Carrington smacked Cunningham across the face, leading to the flagrant foul and ejection from the game.

During White’s post-game news conference, she actually praised Carrington’s aggressive play before claiming she didn’t see the whole play in the moment and couldn’t comment any further on it.

"You know, this isn't necessarily for those people that are in this room.

This is more for an online community that's trying to create narratives that simply don't exist," White said to reporters.

"Trying to create a fabrication or distortion of who I am, of what I'm about.

Our players' success, our players' health and wellness, our players' safety is always a top priority for me.

One of the things I pride myself on is my relationships with players." Smith wasn’t buying it, and neither were Fever fans as boos rained down during the team’s home game on Tuesday.

"There are folks in Indiana at a home game booing you!" Smith said passionately on his show.

"You ain’t the road team.

You’re the home team … and they’re booing you!"
