Suns owner Mat Ishbia ’embarrassed’ by 2024-25 season
At a Phoenix Suns press conference, team owner Mat Ishbia said he’s setting standards for what he expects from all coaching hires going forward.
Steve Nash’s name can be eliminated from the list of potential head coach candidates for the Phoenix Suns.
The Stein Line is reporting Nash is joining Amazon Prime’s NBA coverage next season as part of the 11-year media rights deal with NBC and Disney (ESPN).
Having been an NBA head coach for the Brooklyn Nets and perhaps the greatest player in Suns history, Nash seemed like an ideal choice to replace Mike Budenholzer, but Stein Line reported the 51-year old has no interest in the position.
Nash won back-to-back MVPs playing for the Suns.
The Suns will have their fourth head coach in four seasons after finishing 36-46 to mark their first losing season since 2019-20. Phoenix missed the playoffs for the first time since 2019-20.
