Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as next head coach

The Phoenix Suns are expected to hire Mike Budenholzer as the team’s next head coach, NBA insider Shams Charania of The Athletic was the first to report Friday. The hiring came over 12 hours after Budenholzer was labeled the frontrunner for the position by ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

He will be tasked with replacing Frank Vogel, who got axed after one season at the position. The process from Vogel to Budenholzer was quite quick, which makes you wonder if the two sides were discussing before Vogel’s firing.

But that’s neither here nor there.

Budenholzer, who was fired by the Milwaukee Bucks after last season, was reportedly in consideration for the Suns job last year before it went to Vogel; he was also in the running for the position in 2018 after the organization parted ways with Earl Watson in 2017-18.
