Phoenix Suns fire coach Monty Williams after 4 seasons with the club | |
The Phoenix Suns fired Monty Williams on Saturday, two years after reaching the NBA Finals and a year after he was the overwhelming choice as the coach of the year. Williams had great success in his four regular seasons in Phoenix, winning 63% of his games. But three consecutive years of playoff frustration was likely too much for the Suns to overlook - especially after two straight years of Phoenix trailing by 30 points at halftime of elimination games at home. ESPN and The Athletic first reported the decision. MORE | |
