Top 5 outside the box coaches Suns need to look at




Suns need a smart passionate coach. Someone who wont play favorites and someone who just understands the game. Here are 5 guys Suns need to look at if Jay Triano isnt signed longterm.

5. Jarron Collins- I have read he is 1 of the smartest coaches for the Warriors. He has been a scout,analyst, player development coach and now assistant coach. Was a former player and would be very intriguing to see how he does as a Head coach.

4. David Blatt- Coached Cleveland to NBA finals before getting fired because he couldn't manage Lebron James. He coached Dragan Bender's former Euro team to a championship in 2014. If he could get another run in NBA i think he would do fairly well.

3. Mike Brown- only 1 losing season in 8 seasons as a NBA coach. On Warriors staff right now and even coached them when Steve Kerr got hurt. His worst season was when Cleveland Cavaliers has a horrendous roster and still led them to 3rd place in Central division in the East.

2. Zeljko Obradovic- Greatest coach not in NBA. Has won 9 Euroleague Championships. I have him at number 2 because highly doubt he would come to NBA now but if so Suns would need to go after him. Greg Popovich is a huge fan and has stated he steals plays from him. Is 57 but might be greatest rookie coach ever.

1. Ettore Messina- Was ranked number number 2 for top 10 Euro league coaches where David Blatt was ranked 9 and Obradovic was ranked number 1. Has won 4 Euro league championships is currently an assistant for Spurs. I think he would be a really smart hire because of his knowledge of the game.
