I think there was little doubt about this one, a couple weeks ago he was 1/5 in some odds I saw listed. Not hard to figure out with the turnaround they had this was coming. Great coach though, I shook my head when they said he would be permanent, but I sure am eating crow now. The problem with the Suns last few years was always the defensive effort, I figured a fast-break coach wasn't going to solve it.
