The Phoenix Suns made their third coaching related move of the summer on Monday, with the news that they had lured Utah Jazz associate GM David Fizdale to the desert to become an assistant coach. This following the hiring of Frank Vogel as head coach, and the signing of assistant Kevin Young to remain with the organization as their number two.
The recommitment to Young was splashy, and at $2 million per season makes him the highest paid assistant in the league. The Suns know what they’re doing with Young, and have now ensured their plan B is going nowhere if the Vogel hire doesn’t work out.
