The Phoenix Suns have parted ways with head coach Monty Williams after four seasons, according to multiple Associated Press sources. The news comes as a surprise to many, as the Suns had just finished the 2020-21 season with a winning record and a trip to the playoffs.
Monty Williams was hired by the Suns in 2016 and led the team to a 48-34 record this season, their best since the 2009-10 season. He was also the first coach in franchise history to lead the team to three consecutive playoff appearances. Despite the team’s success, it appears that the Suns have decided to move in a different direction.
The Suns struggled in the playoffs this year, losing in the first round to the Los Angeles Lakers. This was a disappointment for the team, as they had been one of the best teams in the regular season. It appears that the Suns front office felt that a change was necessary in order to take the team to the next level.
It is unclear who will replace Monty Williams as head coach of the Phoenix Suns. However, it is likely that the team will look for someone with more experience and a history of success in the NBA.
The Phoenix Suns have made a bold move by parting ways with Monty Williams after four successful seasons. It remains to be seen if this move will pay off for the team in the long run, but it is clear that they are looking to take their franchise to the next level.
