Tap title to read story
The Phoenix Suns fired head coach Mike Budenholzer after a disastrous season, their third coaching change in three years. The team, considered a superteam, significantly underperformed, finishing 10 games below .500. While Budenholzer's dismissal was inevitable given the team's poor performance and lack of locker room cohesion, questions remain about player accountability and the team's overall coachability.
