Phoenix Suns Seek Head Coach Amid NBA Staffing Changes

The NBA coaching landscape is shifting as the Denver Nuggets have officially named David Adelman their full-time head coach after his interim stint, leaving the Phoenix Suns with the league's only head coaching vacancy. Adelman, who has been with the Nuggets since 2017 and is the son of Hall of Famer Rick Adelman, led Denver to a playoff series win and has received strong support from players. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns are considering Miami Heat assistant Chris Quinn for their head coaching job, with Quinn being a likely finalist and praised for his player development skills and ability to bring stability. If Quinn is hired, the Heat would need to fill the associate head coach role, potentially promoting from within or looking externally, with names like Goran Dragic being mentioned as possible additions. Additionally, the Utah Jazz have announced Scott Morrison and Chris Jones as head coaches for their Summer League teams, focusing on player development and evaluating their upcoming draft picks. These developments illustrate a period of transition and opportunity across multiple NBA teams' coaching staffs.
