We are sad to note that this past weekend, former Suns head coach John MacLeod joined the late Connie Hawkins and Cotton Fitzsimmons as Suns Ring of Honor members who have passed on.
MacLeod won more games as head coach of the Phoenix Suns than any of the other 18 head coaches in franchise history, but could not win this battle against a so-far incurable Alzheimer’s disease.
MacLeod, the head coach from 1973-1987, more than doubles up all those 18 other Suns coaches in seasons (14), games (1,122), wins (579), playoff games (81) and playoff wins (37).
