The Suns had an off day Sunday but the news never stops.

Former coach Earl Watson was a guest on an ESPN basketball podcast called the Hoop Collective and spoke about his time with the Suns.

On why he knew his tenure as Suns coach would be brief:

“To be honest with you when I took over as interim (coach in February of 2016), management and ownership told me I would not be taking over the team permanently. So I think that was the first sign for me that no matter what was going to happen it was going to be short so make an impact and leave an imprint that whoever takes over and wherever they go … you left it better than what you found it.
