Just when you thought the season couldn’t get any worse, this news drops. We’ve seen it all this year.

Chris Haynes shared that weeks ago, Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer called Devin Booker into his office to issue a complaint. The complaint was that Booker was being too vocal on the court and during timeout huddles. He implored Booker to tone it down to allow for the coach's voice to be heard.
