Suns Finalize Shortlist for Head Coach Search

The Phoenix Suns have entered the final phase of their head coach search, narrowing down a large pool to a shortlist that includes Chris Quinn (Miami Heat), Johnnie Bryant (Cleveland Cavaliers), Jordan Ott (Cleveland Cavaliers), and Sean Sweeney (Dallas Mavericks). Reports also indicate Micah Nori (Minnesota Timberwolves) and Dave Bliss (Oklahoma City Thunder) have advanced deep into the process. Owner Mat Ishbia favors up-and-coming assistant coaches, especially those with ties to his alma mater, Michigan State. The search follows the recent promotion of Brian Gregory to general manager and comes amid high expectations for a team with frequent coaching changes and a star-studded roster. The organization is seeking a fresh direction after a disappointing season. Final decisions on the new head coach are expected soon.
