Put another name on the Suns’ list of coaching candidates.
According to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Atlanta Hawks have granted head coach Mike Budenholzer permission to meet with Suns team officials regarding their coaching vacancy.
After being linked previously this week to Dan Majerle, David Fizdale and Jay Wright, this report is somewhat unexpected. Budenholzer is currently in place as Atlanta’s coach, and the Suns had not been rumored to be looking at current head coaches as part of their search.
