Suns Hire Ott as New Coach

[Superbone]

I’m kind of surprised that we haven’t seen more movement on Ott’s coaching staff. The only thing I can think of is maybe we were hoping to get Mike Brown as his lead asst but had to wait until the Knicks coaching search was over. Now that the Knicks have hired Brown I wonder if we get lead asst news sooner than later.

And who is coaching the Summer Suns?

Burros are what you ride in the Grand Canyon.

That's probably why they now call them burritos, so people don't get confused.

If I saw a burro on my plate, I would hope I wouldn't bite into it.

I heard Ott was going to do it himself but I haven’t seen anything official.

I'm hoping that's the case. Where did you hear it? Didn't Hornacek do that as a first time head coach?

I can’t remember exactly, but I saw it on Twitter. It was by someone I wasn’t familiar with though so I’m not sure on the validity. It would make sense though.

with Ott said to be seeking a former NBA head coach as his top assistant.

That part is interesting.

That part is interesting.

Yea, that’s what made me think we may have been waiting to see if Mike Brown would be available. Other possibilities would be Terry Stotts, Dave Joerger, Nate McMillan, Jim Boylen, Scott Brooks, and Lloyd Pierce. Those are current assistants with head coaching experience.

I was wrong. DeMarre Carroll will be coaching the summer league.

if we don't run green with book they'll double the hell out of book

cp3 and ayton helped prevent double teams especially with the twins camping out behind the 3

and ott - who some suggest is more than up for the task - will have to create other legit responsibilities for defenses to defend because as is we have no pg

not only no pg but a bunch of rookies and youngins - so everybody's gonna to pass the ball to book (except green lol) and defenses will anticipate these passes

defenses will both - try and prevent booker from getting the ball - then double the ish outta book when he does get it

but we ott not worry

 

[Mainstreet]

Some general comments.

If Oso could shoot from outside, his game would resemble Alvan Adams. He has point guard instincts.

Someone please free Collin Gillespie and give him a green light to run the offense and shoot.

LOL, this isn't elementary school ball.

yes they will double team him, but we have lob threats now to keep the defense even. We did not have that at all. And Green is pretty good at attacking the rim too.

Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson is highly complimentary of Suns head coach Jordan Ott.

This is also a guy charged with sexual assault back in 2019, on video chasing a half naked woman, who was running away from him, grabbing her and dragging her back to his room… only to be found not guilty in Michigan. I’m sure hometown hero had nothing to do with the acquittal over the point blank evidence on video.
