The Phoenix Suns plan to narrow their head coach search to approximately three finalists this week. Chris Quinn and Sean Sweeney have made strong impressions so far, while Jordan Ott is another intriguing candidate.
Quinn is an assistant coach under Erik Spoelstra with the Miami Heat, while Sweeney is a longtime top assistant under Jason Kidd at multiple stops. Ott is a Michigan State alum, who is currently with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Micah Nori of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dave Bliss of the Oklahoma City Thunder also advanced to the second round.
The Suns are searching for a replacement for Mike Budenholzer his offseason and have been expected to prefer a candidate without prior head coaching experience.
