Suns Reportedly Fire Assistant Coaches Mike Longabardi, Jerry Sichting
After a 12-20 start to the 2015-16 season, the Phoenix Suns have decided to fire assistant coaches Mike Longabardi and Jerry Sichting, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
Wojnarowski said head coach Jeff Hornacek's future is unclear. The team will promote Nate Bjorkgren and Earl Watson to the bench to replace the two fired coaches, per ESPN.com's Marc Stein.
The Suns hit rock-bottom Dec. 26 after becoming just the second team to lose to the Philadelphia 76ers in 32 games this season—in a humiliating 111-104 home defeat.
Hornacek didn't mince words after the loss, per the Associated Press (via ESPN.com).
