NAZ head coach Bret Burchard discusses his role under Monty Williams after being retained in the offseason

The sole survivor of the Suns’ offseason coaching staff sweep has to be doing something right.

As James Jones looks to further put his imprint on this franchise from a culture perspective and build out a real basketball development program in Phoenix, the Northern Arizona Suns are likely to play a big role. Keeping head coach Bret Burchard (and general manager Dylan DeBusk) in the same role this year in Prescott Valley has to be considered a major symbol of trust in the Suns’ G League infrastructure.

On the latest episode of The Outlet, the Suns’ in-house podcast, Burchard discussed how he hopes to be an extension of the Suns’ coaching staff and what has helped him be successful as head coach so far up north.
