And yes — it’s just as fun as it sounds.
Let’s break down the viral revelation, what this means for fans, and how Caitlin Clark is still the main character of the WNBA All-Star Weekend.
Sandy Brondello: “She’ll Have the Coaching Hat”

“I will give the coaching hat to her as much as she wants, to be quite honest,” Brondello laughed.

It’s official: Caitlin Clark is about to become Coach Clark, and fans are HERE for it.
Why Is Caitlin Clark Coaching?
Clark was voted as an All-Star starter — of course. But due to a lingering injury and workload management by the Indiana Fever, she’s not participating in the game itself. That said, she’s still very much part of the team… and in true Caitlin fashion, she’s not going to just sit on the bench quietly.
If anything, she might take the clipboard and start drawing up some Iowa-style four-point plays just for fun.
The All-Star Game Vibes Are Immaculate
The WNBA All-Star Weekend is meant to be fun, lighthearted, and fan-focused. This year, with all the attention surrounding Clark, the league is embracing the chaos and letting players just enjoy themselves. That includes Coach Clark getting mic’d up, pulling pranks, or just being Caitlin.
Brondello confirmed the weekend is all about enjoyment:
“It’s not about who wins. It’s just about having fun… Caitlin’s going to be a big part of that.”
Clark’s Coaching Debut Is Already Iconic
Fans are already calling for Clark to draw up ridiculous plays, demand 40-foot pull-up threes from Sabrina Ionescu, and reenact some of her most viral Iowa moments — from the sideline. Honestly? We wouldn’t be surprised if she takes a timeout just to drop a “Logo 3” play.
She may not be coaching full-time anytime soon, but this moment is already living rent-free in WNBA Twitter.
From All-Star to Head Coach (Kind Of)
Clark being named an All-Star captain was no surprise. But being handed the “coaching hat” by Brondello? That’s peak WNBA energy.
This coaching moment also gives Clark a chance to bond with Liberty players like Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu — a fun (and slightly spicy) subplot, given that some fans want Clark traded to a bigger market team. But let’s not stir the pot too early.
Clark’s Chemistry With the Team Is On Point
Brondello and Clark seem to have a great vibe, even joking about the All-Star “trade” that landed Brondello as Team Clark’s coach:
“I’ve never been part of a trade… hopefully it’s just for coaching!”
Clearly, Coach Clark isn’t just a gimmick — it’s turning into a full-blown All-Star Weekend storyline.
Why Fans Love This Role for Clark
Caitlin Clark isn’t just a hooper. She’s a student of the game, a leader, and yes, maybe a future coach someday. Watching her in this role gives fans another layer to her personality — and proves that she can command attention even off the court.
Whether she’s hyping up teammates, drawing up sets, or joking with refs, Clark brings entertainment no matter where she is.
Is Caitlin Clark Coaching For Real?
Well… kind of. While Sandy Brondello is officially the head coach, she’s letting Caitlin take the reins as much as she wants. Expect to see Clark:
- Calling timeouts
- Drawing up playful plays
- Hyping up her team
- Possibly getting mic’d up for broadcast gold
This isn’t a PR stunt — it’s a smart way to keep Clark involved, show off her leadership, and engage fans who tuned in just to see her.
