Next Phoenix Suns coach? Some candidates to replace Earl Watson

The list of coaching candidates to fill the Suns’ vacancy should include some prominent names.

Today’s NBA certainly allows for a variety of coaching candidates.

Nothing should be off the table when trying to identify the coach to move this franchise forward.

It’s worth talking about Steve Nash and Dan Majerle, for marketing purposes.

It’s worth trying to nail a basketball-smart choice, too. Assistant coaches Adrian Griffin (Thunder) and Ime Udoka (Spurs) are worthy targets.

Griffin is a Tom Thibideoaux disciple (that means an emphasis on defense).

Udoka? Suns fans long ago gave up being critical of Gregg Popovich, and Udoka has been a key assistant.
