I’ve been lucky enough to cover the Phoenix Suns over the past few years and have had a close watch on them for Monty Williams’ entire tenure. That tenure came to an end Saturday night as new owner Matt Ishbia decided to part ways with the veteran head coach. Now, I feel a bit unlucky to cover his departure from the team after developing a very real admiration for Williams as a person and coach.
i’ll never forget when monty williams singled me out at one of my first practices to ask my name.
