The Suns had eight new bodies suit up for them during training camp this year as first-year Head Coach Igor Kokoškov began laying the foundation for the revamped roster.
Kokoškov has built an impressive basketball resume over the years, but it hasn’t always been an easy path for 46-year-old coach. From breaking barriers to overcoming the odds, Kokoškov has opened the doors for many on his way to becoming the 19th coach in franchise history.
A car accident in his early 20’s forced an end to his basketball career, but Kokoškov wasn’t willing to abandon the hardwood completely as he became the youngest coach in Yugoslavian basketball history.
