As June approaches, the Phoenix Suns remain the only team in the NBA without a head coach. Perhaps it’s all part of the plan. Lulling us to sleep with whispers, rumors, and reports in what’s become a month-long search for the next man to hold the clipboard. I’m being facetious, of course. The reality is, this slow, deliberate process, and with no competition for candidates and no rush to announce, is a reflection of a shift within the organization. And as a fan base, we have to recognize and accept that shift.
Mat Ishbia is still a relatively new owner in the NBA.
