Unfortunately, in the NBA, it seems like firing your head coach is the first line of defense for an organization trying to mask over poor roster construction or the fact that the players underperformed when it mattered most.
BREAKING: The Phoenix Suns dismissed coach Monty Williams, sources tell ESPN. Williams was a two-time NBA Coach of the Year in four seasons with Suns — including a trip to 2021 NBA Finals. Suns lost 6-game series to Nuggets in Western Semifinals.
