When Robert Sarver allowed for the firing of Alvin Gentry in 2013, little did anyone know that the Phoenix Suns would enter into an abyss of constant change at head coach, highlighted by the hiring of some of the worst possible head coaches the league has ever known.
Gentry should have never been fired, and honestly should still be on the bench today, slowly rivaling John MacLeod for the longest tenured head coach in franchise history.
Instead the team has suffered through the short stint of Lindsey Hunter, the unsuccessful era of Jeff Hornacek (who too should have never been fired, but because of the Morrii was forced out), the worst head coach in franchise history, Earl Watson (yes, he was worse than Hunter, Terry Porter, and even Butch van Beda Kolff – look him up, Millennials), the longest interim period in franchise history from Jay Triano, and now, for one season so far, Igor Kokoskov.
