Also a side note. My friend here in Indianapolis has worked a job in the room service business for over 10 years. He has told me about all the NBA players and coaches he's delivered room service to and one name that stands out is David Fizdale. He always tells me whenever he delivers to Fizdale's room that has a call girl/escort/hooker in there every time. Sometimes multiple females. I guess I expect that thing more from players but when I hear about it with coaches it's odd to me. My friend described his interaction with Fizdale as being a cool guy but I think because of this, me personally, I would be a little weird if he were the next head coach of the Suns.

Why would that matter?

I don’t think this Budenholzer thing is happening if their adding candidates. Most people thought Budenholzer would be a “bang-bang” thing where they interview him and then offer him the job on the spot. Fact that their still adding more coaches to interview doesn’t bode well.

It was too good to be true anyway. Did anyone seriously think Sarver would pony up the $$$ for a top 10 HC like that? And the Suns still have the “laughing stock” label attached firmly to their franchise that I’m sure Budenholer hesitated as well.

Oh well. Hope they can hire a good cheap coach not an awful cheap coach. Kokosov should be cheap and a decent hire.

Good news is that this will likely be McDonough’s last hire

At the same time, they took a ton of s*** for not interviewing multiple candidates last time. You can't have it both ways. They either do a good job with due diligence or they don't. It's not about the optics.

Bad news is that McD is likely to mortgage the team's future to try to save his job with a good season.

Honestly, a year ago I might have agreed with you as I had no idea what he was up to, but now his plan is starting to come into focus. I have a feeling you guys along with everyone around the NBA are going to be in for a big surprise how good this team is going to be and be set up for a long sustained success.
