Shaquille O’Neal is wrong about Monty Williams.
The most dominant big man of his generation questioned the impact the first-year Suns coach has had on the team’s turnaround during "Inside the NBA" on TNT during highlights of Miami’s 16-point win over Phoenix on Thursday night.
"That's coaching?" O’Neal said.
The sarcasm came in retort to Charles Barkley, who skipped over the loss to credit Williams for how much better things have been this season.
Barkley is right, of course.
Williams has been essential.
But let’s back up a bit and focus on how we got here.
