By Eric Jackson Verified| Sportico Verified The Phoenix Suns are on the hunt yet again for a head coach, their fourth in as many seasons, after firing Mike Budenholzer, who led the team through a disappointing season that was exacerbated by missing the playoffs despite having the NBA’s highest team payroll. The team issued a statement saying its “fans deserved better” and that a change was needed. Budenholzer, a two-time NBA Coach of the Year, exits with $40 million remaining on a five-year, $50 million deal signed last year.
