Around the time of the NBA Draft this summer, Phoenix Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough may not only be working on what additions he will be adding to the roster via the draft, free agency, and trades, but he may also be working on a list of possible interviewees for his new Head Coach. While McDonough is highly unlikely to fire Earl Watson this summer, Watson may find it prudent to resign so he can take the position as Head Coach for his beloved Alma mater: UCLA.
A number of things need to happen before a phone call from UCLA’s Athletic Director Dan Guerrero to Watson even happens.
