Tamika Catchings named Vice President of Fever Basketball Operations

The Indiana Fever announced Monday that 16-year WNBA stalwart and four-time Olympic gold medalist Tamika Catchings has been named Vice President of Fever Basketball Operations. This is a major move up for Catchings, but not one that comes as a surprise.

She most recently served in the role of Director of Player Programs and Franchise Development, working with the Pacers, the Fever and the Fort Wayne Mad Ants — Indiana’s G League team.

In her new role on the Fever side, Catchings “will be responsible for the coordination of day-to-day basketball operations.”

Of the promotion, Catchings said:

I’m ecstatic about advancing my role with the Fever. Opportunities like this don’t happen often and I look forward to working with Allison and Pokey to help lead our franchise. On the court, we have such a great young core and we will continue to build our players and embrace the opportunity to grow our fan base in the community.

Pacers Sports & Entertainment also announced Dr. Allison Barber has been named President and Chief Operating Officer of the Indiana Fever.
