This morning the news came out that the Phoenix Suns have hired Philadelphia 76ers assistant coach Monty Williams as their new head coach.
John Gambadoro, on Twitter, stated that the Suns were adamant that they wanted someone with experience and had targeted Monty Williams right from the start. He also broke the news that this is a 5-year deal.
Prior to his being fired, I wanted Igor Kokoskov to get at least one more season as head coach with a better roster to give him a more fair shot. I was bummed out when he got canned but this hire makes me feel better and it should make you feel better.
