    That's a pretty cool sign of respect for him.

    I would really hate to lose Vanterpool, but also think he deserves a shot as head coach.

    I live in AZ, so tired of the Suns org. NBA needs to get rid of Sarver. He has no idea how to run an organization. Suns have been so bad for so long. Nobody even talks about the Suns down here.

    DV and Tibbets have had so many head coach interviews over the past few years. Woj has been pumping him like mad too (check out how many name checks DV has on his tweets over the past few weeks).

    Surprised neither of them have landed a gig yet. Would be a big loss especially given how close DV is to Dame.

    Somehow I feel like I'd rather lose Stotts than Vanterpool

    Depending on how the rest of this series and the playoffs go I may not want to lose any of them.

    Since Terry came to Portland, Phoenix has had 7 head coaches.

    That is ridiculous.

    Don't lose hope. When that organization gets going again (And they will) you will have a great time enjoying success.

    Suns have a lot of great pieces. I good PG, good coach and a few years to season and they could be the next Philly.

    The Suns could do a lot worse. DV or Monty both are quality men, not just coaches. DV was THIS close to getting the Magic job last summer. He will be missed, but he would be DAMN good head coach.

    Proof that fans need to be careful what they wish for with respect to coaching changes.

    Too many fans have the "grass is greener" mentality to coaches, and it very rarely turns out to be true.

    Good for these 2 young coaches and if we win tonight OKC job might be open too.

    Interesting you say this. DV came from OKC and is very close with KD and Russ.

    I's be surprised if Monty would want that job because of the owner.

    On the otherhand, Seven years with Terry is also quite long in this day and age, especially when he has only won 2 playoff series.
