Will a New Sun Rise in Phoenix?

Terry Porter, was fired as Suns head coach this week, just four months into his first season. The former Spurs guard who has been in the league for 17 years signed as head coach over the summer for 3 years and $6 million. Brought in by GM Steve Kerr, Porter was hired to replace Mike D'Antoni after his departure to the Knicks.

I find it ironic that Porter was brought in because of his work ethic, integrity, dignity and class and not even three months into the season he has lost his job. The Suns are the eighth team to fire a head coach this season just one firing behind matching the most in league history. Sounds like job security in the NBA is as stable as a screen door on a submarine.

It seems that for now new head coach Alan Gentry's job is safe after a 40 point win against the clippers. As the suns, for now, sit in the ninth spot in the Western Conference can they get back to the style of basketball that made their team so dangerous in years past, I sure hope so. Or will personnel changes be the blame for a missed playoff run, only time will tell.
