Report: Suns Head Coach Earl Watson Fired After 03 Start

The Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Earl Watson, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Suns are 0–3 to start the season. Watson was just starting his third season as the Suns' head coach. He took over in 2016 and finished the year with a 9–24 record in the last 33 games of the season. Last season, he posted a 24–58 record.

Suns owner Robert Sarver and general manager Ryan McDonough are meeting with the Suns' assistant coaches. Jay Triano will likely serve as the team's interim head coach, according to Wojnarowski.

Hopfully Sarver can find a coach that can lead the young Suns and inspire them to play a little d. They are a pretty good team imo, and can't afford to lose Bledsoe.

They need experience on the bench too bad they can't get Danny Ainge who turned a 0 - 13 team into a playoff team on an interim basis. Then became GM and the rest his history.
