In a season in which the Phoenix Suns fired their head coach three games in, the team unsurprisingly left a lot to be desired in many areas directly traceable to the coaching staff.
Earl Watson started the season 0-3 before getting canned, leading to Associate Head Coach Jay Triano taking over the job for the remainder of the year and finishing 21-58. It was clear the Suns were often lacking direction in key areas, making it much harder to win games with a roster that was already primed to finish at the bottom of the league.
