So as I was clocking in today I looked around to see the news for today as per usual. And since I live across the pond I tend to miss the late night news because I’m asleep. So when I was perusing the necessary sources and saw that the Suns wanted Steve Nash to coach the Phoenix Suns, I had to pump the brakes.
“When was Hornacek fired?” I asked my colleagues. They said late last night. I was utterly confused because I think Hornacek has the least of the blame when it comes to the plummeting Suns. The whole front office should be replaced for trading poorly and giving Hornacek nothing to work with.
But it’s done now and the Suns need a head coach. Now you can totally see that Steve Nash was their first choice, they asked him first thing in the morning, little did they know that he doesn’t want to coach.
But Nash, sources say, is not ready to entertain the thought of a head-coaching position or even an assistant coach’s role at this juncture, preferring to focus on fatherhood (he has three young children) and his various off-court interests in addition to a part-time consulting role he took on at the start of the season with the Golden State Warriors.
It remains to be seen whether the Suns will pursue Nash in a front-office capacity instead.
Suns assistant coaches Corey Gaines, Earl Watson and Nate Bjorkgren will be interviewed Monday, a source told ESPN’s Chris Broussard, with one of them likely to be named the interim head coach.
The Suns are suddenly a dumpster fire and it has nothing to do with what’s on the floor in my opinion, they signed a Tyson Chandler who can’t even do those savage ‘Chandler alley-oops’ anymore, they can’t put a lid on Markieff Morris, the front office should be overhauled.
