The Phoenix Suns needed to make the right hire at head coach. However, it wasn’t just about getting a coach or winning games. No, this move was much bigger than basketball. It was about getting the right mentor for all the youth in that locker room.
Monty Williams is that guy.
There is a lot to be positive about in this hire but like all moves the Suns have made recently, there will be criticism and doubt.
Igor Kokoskov. Ryan McDonough, Jay Triano and Jeff Hornacek are all recent moves that felt good when they happened but for whatever reason just didn’t pan out.
