Phoenix Suns associate head coach Kevin Young is staying with the franchise on a new $2 million annual deal that'll make him the NBA's highest-paid assistant coach, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
The Suns were determined to keep Young on new coach Frank Vogel's staff and made a significant commitment to keep him from following former coach Monty Williams to the Detroit Pistons, sources said.
Young has become one of the league's top assistant coaches and was one of the three finalists for the job that Vogel eventually landed on Friday. Young has a strong relationship with Suns star Devin Booker and had a great deal of support within the organization to be retained with Vogel.
