The Phoenix Suns are looking to replace Mike Budenholzer, who was fired after one season. Here's what to know about the finalists.

There's a good chance that David Fizdale can be a finalist for the Phonix Suns job as he will go through his third round of interviews.

The Phoenix Suns are currently looking for their fourth head coach in as many seasons under team majority owner Mat Ishbia, sources inform John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Phoenix.

The Phoenix Suns will hire their fourth head coach in four seasons, after they fired Mike Budenholzer on April 14.

The Phoenix Suns are still sifting through the rubble of their disastrous 2024-25 season, which culminated in the team missing the playoffs altogether. It was a brief stay in Phoenix for head coach Mike Budenholzer, who lasted just one year in the desert before the team parted ways with him.

The Phoenix Suns missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season and enter the offseason needing a coach and some reinforcements.

The Phoenix Suns are entering the finalist stage of their head coaching search after interviewing more than 15 candidates. Our list is down to four.

The second round of interviews has concluded for the Phoenix Suns' coaching search with two candidates emerging as the standouts.

Fizdale ran the ship for the Memphis Grizzlies (2016-17) and New York Knicks (2018-19). He also has previous assistant experience with Warriors, Hawks, Heat and Lakers before landing in Phoenix in 2023.

Sources informed The Arizona Republic this week the Suns have conducted more than 15 interviews during the initial stages of the search and are making “great progress.” Phoenix will have its fourth head coach in four seasons after suffering its first losing season since 2019-20 under one-and-done Mike Budenholzer.
