The Phoenix Suns might have made some massive roster moves this offseason, but far less has been made of the significant changes to their coaching staff. After two seasons of going after veterans in Mike Budenholzer and Frank Vogel to try and attain postseason success, the franchise is now leaning into a long-term approach in hiring first time head coach, Jordan Ott.
Ott arrives having been a highly thought of assistant with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he has brought with him former player DeMarre Carroll for the ride. Another familiar face in Mike Muscala will also be on the bench, having only wrapped up his playing career at the end of 2024.
