Suns appoint new Head Coach
The Phoenix Suns have signed former Trailblazer/Spur Terry Porter to be the head coach for next season.
Porter coached the Milwaukee Bucks for two seasons and was an assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons this season.
The 45-year-old Porter played in the NBA for 17 seasons, mostly with Portland, and was a teammate of Kerr's in San Antonio.
ESPN reports that he will sign a $7 million deal to coach the Suns for the next 3 years.
Porter was Flip Saunders' lead assistant in Detroit the past two seasons. He went 71-93 (.433) from 2003-05 as coach of Milwaukee and the Bucks made the playoffs in his first year.
Is this a good signing for the Suns?
Will this signing continue with the up-tempo offense of the team, or will we see more of a half-court offense?
