New Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams was high on the potential of his new coaching staff before officially formulating them.
“The guys that we have targeted are smarter than I am,” Williams said at last month’s introductory press conference. “They’re bright guys who’ve been around the league. Some have played. I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but I’m really excited about our staff and they really wanted to be here.”
The staff is now official.
The Suns have hired Willie Green, Darko Rajakovic, Mark Bryant, Randy Ayers, Larry Greer and Steve Blake as assistant coaches and Riccardo Fois and Ben Strong as player development coaches.
