Kudos to him. Winning 64 games gives visibility to the rest of the league.

You were first to post it! Wanted to google his age, to feel worse about myself seeing such a young men as NBA coaches now, but all I found was Hockey player of same name.

Every single member of the Suns organization will eventually be from Michigan State University.

I don't know anything about him, but if your team isn't currently competing for a championship with a stable roster then I see no reason not to swing for the fences on an unknown coach with a solid resume. The endless retreads get boring.

Wish him the best. The organization is a dumpster fire right now with an unrestrained narcissist as its owner.

His resume was unimpressive. Not sure what makes him stand out over other candidates. Maybe he fits into Sun's front office style of team building?

Good for him. Should be a solid 10 month run.

This whole ordeal about doing interviews and what not seemed like a smokescreen for what was already decided and assumed by Suns fans: Ishbia had long decided his fellow Michigan State alum would be the guy. And while Ott might be a good coach in his own right, the connection by way of school is what stinks about it. This is a "bro" hire and little else. That said, hopefully it bares some fruit that aren't spoiled on the tree or vine.

So the Suns would rather pay Vogel and Bud not to coach because they wanted a first time head coach lol.
