Unless something dramatic happens this season, it is highly unlikely that Earl Watson will be the Suns’ Head Coach when the team finally makes it back to the playoffs. It appears that he is nothing more than a placeholder for the franchise right now, and love him or not, based on average, he is already closing in on the end of his tenure in Phoenix.
Presuming that he lasts this season (and don’t get me wrong, the team could lose 70 games and I believe that he will still be the Head Coach come game 82), he will have coached a total of 197 games.
