After firing Mike Budenholzer on April 14 and naming Gregory as the new GM on May 1, the Suns embarked on a comprehensive coaching search. Gregory led a multi-round process that began with over 15 coaching interviews. A group of approximately eight candidates had second-round meetings before five — Johnnie Bryant, Jordan Ott, Miami’s Chris Quinn, Oklahoma City’s Dave Bliss and current staff member David Fizdale — advanced to in-person visits with team officials last week. Suns franchise cornerstone Devin Booker has been involved in the search process over the last seven to 10 days, sources said.
