I have a feeling that just like GM, we're going to be underwhelmed by the new coaching hire. Just hoping the results are a little more...whelming.

I'd rather be bad without 3 superstars, a champion coach and established GM. At least it's excusable. It was the most frustrating season I've experienced in all of my years as a fan watching so much assembled pedigree on paper not give a fuck all season, from the coaches to the players. Hate is a strong word but I hated this team with such a passion.

I've been watching longer than you and it's true for me as well. Yeah, at this point, I don't care who they put out there if they work hard and give it their best for 48 minutes. Last season was the most expensive, lackadaisical team of all time. Like you said, from coaching all the way down. The most pathetic defense and rebounding I've ever seen in my life. It was infuriating basketball.

Yep. League pass was a total waste of money for me.

You guys don't like paying for frustration? Weird.

I have always felt that paying for League Pass was worth it. But this season, in addition to the team being frustrating to watch, I felt the service worked less well. I had some games that wouldn't play, and some times when the service wouldn't let me log in. Other times, I had local blackouts of games because I live only 6 short hours' drive away from Portland. Guess what? Streams East and other sites had all the games, they played right away, they worked. I could get a game up on my screen in like 5-10 seconds. Easy peasy.

Not sure if I will cancel League Pass, but this is the only time I have felt like I didn't really get my money's worth.

The Athletic’s Sam Amick dishes on 2 Suns coaching candidates and KD’s future
https://arizonasports.com/nba/phoenix-s ... 588k3umu4z

Royal Ivey and Jared Dudley were the two main mentions.

Haynes working this like it's American Idol. Says Sean Sweeney, Fizdale, Borrego, Johnny Bryant, Jordan Ott, Steve Hetzel, Micah Nori, Dave Bliss have advanced to the 2nd round of the Suns Coaching Search.

I said Ott previously, I think the stupid Spartan ties get him the gig. Of the names, I like Bryant and Sweeney.

I do not want anything to do with Fizdale or Borrego.

Would also definitely take Quinn.

Im still team Bryant…if it’s not him I’d be cool with Quinn. Nori probably my other choice. Can’t say I really know anything about Sweeney, Bliss, and Ott, but I’ve heard their names mentioned as potential coaches. I don’t want Borrego or Fizdale. Hetzel would be last on my list as he feels like a MSU hire exclusively.

If we hire Sean Sweeney, will his daughter Sydney attend Suns games? Asking for a friend.

My #1 priority is, NO FIZDALE. #2 priority is, NO MSU GUYS. I like Bryant and Quinn, but admittedly I just don't know much about most of these guys. Will wait and see.
