It’s Time For The Phoenix Suns To Move On From Mike Budenholzer
The Phoenix Suns were able to pull off a win over the New Orleans Pelicans despite the rampant rumors surrounding Mike Budenholzer’s reported meeting with Devin Booker. PHNX Suns discusses why it’s time for the Suns to move on from their head coach, and what the future should hold for a franchise sinking, with no way out.

Mike Budenholzer had the best player in the league in Giannis and apparently Giannis was "hard to coach". The dude plays so hard and needs very little coaching. Seriously. Giannis needs very little coaching. You think coaching Giannis is "hard"? Other 29 teams don't mess around.
I'm so tired of this. It's just a rant session nearly every new upload now.
Let's see if the Phoenix Suns can set the record of the number of coaches on the payroll at one time
It’s just going to create more problems… no coach ain’t gonna sign here and put up with two Prima Donna’s (KD/Book)… yup James Jones seat should be warming up
I don't know why he keeps playing Plumlee. He actually thinks he's reliable. We should have kept Nurkic and gotten rid of Plumlee. He's worse. My boyfriend won't let me trash Plumlee in front of him, because he used to be good in college. Well the guy's 34.
They need to go out and get a young up and coming coach or go the college route and go get Dan Hurley who’s the best culture builder and culture setter in sports. He can develop players and set an attitude and accountability that this organization desperately needs.
Nurk was right about Bud. And you blamed him for everything. Bud is a joke and this whole Franchise. You should apologize
Talks to Booker all the time, just not Nurk Oso or Dunn?
WTF is with our coaches not talking to players? Seems like one of the MAIN parts of the job.
I 100% agree with literally every single thing he said. Also, Beal has to fucken go man. Dude doesn't ever play its crazy
Bucks fired Bud 3 seasons too late. They could have had two championships already. Suns don't make the same mistake by trying to repair this relationship.
As a bucks fan, I can relate . The game has passed bud and doc Rivers on by .
Young coaches are always the way to go nowadays, somebody has to be hungry in the organization. It can't be the players when they're making more money than God
The two B’s that need to be heavily addressed – Beal and Bud.
Telling your franchise player that he needs to stand down from being vocal/a leader is not the move.
OH HECK NO!!!! We are not blaming another coach. The problem is JAMES JONES. I don’t know why yall keep letting him off the hook. James Jones chose the coaches, Chose Beal, Chose not to get a PG last year, built this whole thing but yall Blame the coach. Smh
Prediction: This Summer KD goes to the Grizzlies for nickels on a dollar & James Jones gets a new coach. Beal refuses to leave & the PHX Suns are struggling again. The owner & coach gets blamed again. Jones gets let off the hook for the 3rd year in a row. Y’all wild’n…
No I don't think they need to fire Bud. The players, coaches, and organization need to learn to work together and figure this out.
i’m over james jones, get him out. get mike budenholzer out.
God I miss the old crew.
These players are the same as the last two coaches. It’s the team that’s broken. The coach is just one guy.
Why the hell are we blaming the freaking coaches!
This kid is super emotional…..i don't think lindsey ever went on a rant like this.
I get that he can't stand budenholzer and alot of fans feel the same . There are repercussions to firing coaches every season and we seem to be forgetting that the last two coaches were defensive minded coaches with championship experience.
They got a team with soft, aging, injury prone mid-range shooters. Matt ishbia and james jones picked the roster. Vogel and now budenholzer had very little input .
Your asking defensive minded coaches to do something that was never their strength in the first place.
Bud has failed miserably with this team , that is true . But these problems were here before either vogel or budenholzer became the coach.
That means it all began with bad decision making from the owner and especially the gm who has had three seasons to get it figured out.
Get rid of budenholzer if you want, but no other coach will run the risk of being number four waiting to add to the list of coaches that hurt the players feelings.
You don't build a culture based on a players demands. You build it by finding the right gm with a vision and a strategic mindset and then add a coach that can hold the players accountable and follow the team's plan .
Do you see these kind of problems in the media from the top teams like the thunder, celtics and nuggets? No, they understand that they have one job. To shut up and play. The best thing they can say to the bloodsucking tabloid media is no comment or next question.
Telling your star player to calm down when we’ve been shit is Crazy get him outta here there’s a reason Giannas got him up outta there real quick
Sam Cassel would be super ideal
I’d take Fizzdale over Bud f sho
This dude is the worst host. Basically just yells the entire show doesn’t let anybody talk. He has no emotional control. I miss Lindsey. I miss the old show. Would’ve been great if we could’ve just swapped in Stephen.
Sure blame the coach for everything why not. The last good decision the Suns management did was drafting Booker thats 10 years ago!!!!!!!!!
It’s not the head coach. It’s the players. It’s the front office. Stop scapegoating coaches.
KD is a generational coach killer
I am Erik LFG!!!
Bud never answers a damned question
Too bad we can't fire the owner. If you look at what happened to phoenix mercury, you can see what the owner is up to. The coach is not the problem. Other Booker, the whole team will be traded
Too late iddioots
Chris Paul was the only real "coach" this team has had recently. People arguing, "we can't just keep firing coaches!" have you actually sat down and considered the last three coaches? Monty looked alright until he had to go without CP3 and lead Detroit to the worst season in franchise history. Vogel had success during the bubble which is kind of a big asterisk and was subsequently fired. Bud felt like someone who was a good choice with a champion experience but having watched the season and his responses to this complete flop of a season just reveals he's not the man for the job. I understand its a bad look, but the general opinion on the Suns is that they're dysfunctional, so what's a few tweets or clips of Stephen A really matter?
Now that Booker is the source of tension, we're blaming the coach??/If It was KD I'm not sure we'd be blaming Bud. Regardless , the Suns have too much talent to be this bad. "36" needed to be better from an intangible standpoint. Suns supporting cast around KD and Book is better than supporting cast for Giannis-Dame and Steph-Jimmy, yet record much worse
I too have soured on Bud. Something’s not right.
Suns are toast for years good thing you got the Dbacks
200% disagree. Blaming Monty Williams, a super motivational head coach, then Vogel, an incredible defensive head coach, then Mike Budenholzer, who has a reputation for creating winning cultures, for everything???? Mike is a flawed coach, but the dude KNOWS how to coach. Devin Booker needs to tone it down, because he is not a vocal leader nor a leader by example. Never has been and never will be. He has incredibly bad habits that he's never fixed since his rookie year. This suns team is just full of pouty egos that Budenholzer never had before with the Spurs, Hawks, or Bucks(besides Demarcus Cousins). The fact Bud isn't losing his mind with how bad the vibes have been in the locker room is a Bud staple. Gotta remain composed no matter what. Obviously book doesn't understand that. This team HAS to start trusting in their head coach, at some point it's the players egos and FO siding with the player constantly. Come on!!!!!
