PHOENIX -- Entering the 2024-2025 season, the Phoenix Suns seemed to have found exactly the right guy in new coach Mike Budenholzer. He was born and raised in Holbrook, grew up a Suns fan and won an NBA Championship three years earlier � beating the Suns in the NBA Finals as coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.
He even described the job as a “dream� when he was introduced by late longtime broadcaster Al McCoy as “one of the highlights of the Suns� entire history.�
