“Igor’s teams have always had a player development focus, a creative style of play and a track record of success,” former Suns GM Ryan McDonough said in a statement following the hiring of Igor Kokoskov 10 months ago.
What a whirlwind it has been for Kokoskov since his return to the Valley as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns.
The man who hired him was fired five months later. He didn’t have competent point guard play until 65 percent through the season when Tyler Johnson debuted after being acquired from Miami.
