The Phoenix Suns fired first time head coach Terry Porter half-way through the season.
Not funny.
The Phoenix Suns fired Mike D’Antoni after last season after management didn’t think he could win the NBA Championship. He did lead them to the Western Conference Finals in 2007.
Not funny.
The Phoenix Suns fired a first time coach at the midway point after firing their previous coach for only getting them to the Conference finals.
Hilarious.
Unfortunately for Porter, there really wasn’t a way he was going to live up to the success of D’Antoni. Especially after management ripped apart the speedy lineup. Shawn Marion was traded for the slower Shaq. Porter tried to institute a more half-court scheme but it just wasn’t successful.
Hopefully Porter will be a head coach again someday. But he needs more seasoning as an assistant this time around.
