There's definitely something going on. The Lakers have not made an offer to Williams or Lue yet either.

I'm just glad that when the Suns players come into the gym each day to work out, they don't have to see any coaches. Or a trainers. They can just, you know, find the destiny that is inside of themselves.

Maybe the janitor can help them improve their defense?

Sure. He can hold up a broom and make them shoot over it.

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
I think Monty Williams is a terrific "leader of men" type. He wasn't a great Xs and Os coach with New Orleans, but my hope is that the last few years spent with the Spurs, Team USA and the Sixers have improved his game management skills considerably.
Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
That and a good tactician second in command would go a long way.

Igor Kokoskov?

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
Something else to consider is that Monty is coaching Joel Embiid. Maybe he could teach Ayton how to play like Embiid.

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
Kokoskov didn’t teach Ayton to play like Gobert. Embiid is a better overall target though for Ayton.

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
I wonder how many coaches have been fired for failing to turn a disappointing #1 pick into the player the owner / gm imagined on draft night.

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
The players all say they didn't have a clue what Igor wanted from them, what their roles were, or what he was trying to tell them to do.

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
We only know that somebody said a couple anonymous players said, off the record, that they didn't know what he wanted.JeremyG wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 12:20 pmThe players all say they didn't have a clue what Igor wanted from them, what their roles were, or what he was trying to tell them to do.
Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
Of course they're not going to go on the record to talk badly about an ex-coach, especially someone that they, by all accounts, like and respect.
It was pretty clear all season that there was a communication problem between Igor and his team. In fact, I remember Ayton going on record early in the season saying he didn't know what Igor wanted from him.

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
too bad about igor's communication issues with the players. having a decent point guard could have helped, since they say the pg is the extension of the coach on the floor.
nobody listens to melton, and booker did his own thing.

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
I think it is coming from multiple sources now and Ashley Nevel said she heard it from multiple players after games during the season. I've been saying it since the first week that it was glaringly obvious but that's from what I was seeing on the court from Louisiana, so...Indy wrote: We only know that somebody said a couple anonymous players said, off the record, that they didn't know what he wanted.

Re: Suns fire Head Coach Igor Kokoskov
You're absolutely right. I think a lot of us were saying it and hoping it was wrong since it was so early in the year let alone his tenure.carey wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2019 11:19 amI think it is coming from multiple sources now and Ashley Nevel said she heard it from multiple players after games during the season.
