the Phoenix Suns.
- They will likely be in the market for a HC this spring/summer, looking to make a big change in the direction of the franchise.
- They want to build around Booker, and Book loves KY. They talk frequently. “That’s my guy.”
- Book has mentioned in multiple interviews he would love to play for KY as HC of the Suns.
- The Suns organization thinks very highly of KY.
- KY’s favorite player is Devin Booker.
- KY has deep ties to the Suns organization.
- KY has tons of family and friends in the Phoenix area.
- KY, as a first year HC at the NCAA Div I level, just engineered a rapid program transformation with startling results that is currently capturing the nation’s attention. He is a red-hot commodity at the moment.
- The Suns are owned by a billionaire who is willing to spend big $$$ and doesn’t take no for an answer.
What if Matt Ishbia decides he absolutely must have KY? He is definitely the type who would make KY the highest paid coach in NBA history.
I do think there’s a good chance KY stays even in this scenario due to the many aforementioned reasons, but there is potentially a very credible threat from the desert looming on the horizon.
Anyway, no sense worrying about this now. We have a tournament game to win!
