It appears that it’s the season of talking about former Phoenix Suns players, and now we can add coaches to the list. We noted yesterday that both Nassir Little and Landry Shamet were waived from their respective teams. Frank Kaminsky was cut as well.
Now it’s Landry’s coach while in Phoenix that is making news.
Monty Williams marked a turning point for the Suns’ coaching position, bringing stability after years of constant change. Since Alvin Gentry’s departure in 2013, the franchise saw a revolving door of head coaches. Lindsay Hunter for 41 games, Jeff Hornacek for a couple of seasons, followed by Earl Watson, Jay Triano, and Igor Kokoskov.
