For the third time in as many years, the Phoenix Suns find themselves in search of a new head coach. Following another dismissal from the organization, fans are left stunned at the now revolving door of candidates to try and turn the franchise around.
A few years removed from winning a championship with the Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix brought in Mike Budholzer to try and lead the star-studded roster. Things did not go how the organization had hoped, as the team failed to miss the playoffs and won just 36 games in the regular season.
Similar to what they did with Frank Vogel in 2024, the Suns have decided to part ways with Budenholzer after just one year on the job. Amid the NBA's latest coach firing, fans rushed to social media with their thoughts on the situation.
