The Phoenix Suns are in the headlines once again as the team fired head coach Igor Kokoskov after his first season with the team. This move isn’t really surprising when you look at how the team played last year.
Kokoskov went 19-63 this year and the team got new management with Jeff Bower (Senior VP of Basketball Operations) and James Jones (General Manager). What’s surprising is the nature of this decision. The news came yesterday at 9:50 PM, two weeks after the season ended.
Now, to be fair to the Suns, this shouldn’t be a decision a team rushes and makes on a whim.
