Suns coaching foundation set as Miles Simon and John Lucas join the bench

With the NBA Draft a couple of days out and NBA free agency on the horizon, coupled with the trade market, the Phoenix Suns have laid the coaching foundation for the 2023-24 season.

The team was in need of a coaching rebuild. They dismissed Monty Williams, who took with him assistant Jarrett Jack to the Detroit Pistons, and they hired 2020 NBA Champion and defensive stud Frank Vogel. They re-signed associate head coach Kevin Young to the highest contract at that position in the league. They brought in former NBA head coach, who was an assistant with Vogel in 2021-22 with the Lakers, and former associate general manager of the Utah Jazz, David Fizdale.
