Early on in the Suns’ coaching search, General Manager Ryan McDonough was asked to respond to a media report that linked Phoenix to several possible candidates.
Via text message, McDonough declined comment, saying the search was an “ongoing process” and he didn’t want to provide updates every step of the way.
Well, that process has been completed. Igor Kokoskov is the new Suns coach, and his hiring – as well as the process behind it – has some interesting things to say about how McDonough learned from past mistakes and where the Suns are headed.
