The Phoenix Suns are preparing to enter their 58th season as a franchise. Fifty-eight seasons of ‘almost’. Fifty-eight seasons of ‘what if’. A history steeped in heartbreak, defined by brilliance that always seemed to fall just short of glory.
Now, the team stands at yet another crossroads.

And so, as the Suns prepare to name their fourth head coach in as many seasons. This isn’t just about a clipboard and a whistle.
