Phoenix Suns in search for new head coach

Xinhua,April 28, 2018 Adjust font size:

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Xinhua) -- The Phoenix Suns' search for a new head coach continues as the club has talked to San Antonio Spurs assistant James Borrego on Thursday and former Charlotte Hornets head coach Steve Clifford on Friday, local media reported.

Clifford was dismissed by the Hornets following a lackluster season, but he had led the team to two playoff berths in the past five seasons.

Borrego has been an assistant coach in the NBA since 2003, spanning four different organizations.

Other candidates who reportedly have had interviews, either in person or by phone, include the team's interim coach Jay Triano, former Memphis coach David Fizdale, Utah assistant Igor Kokoskov, former Orlando and Indiana coach Frank Vogel and former Houston coach Kevin McHale.

The Suns placed at the bottom of the standings this season with a worst 21-61 record of all 30 teams in the NBA league. Enditem
