Phoenix Suns part ways with Coach of the Year Monty Williams.

The Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Monty Williams after a disappointing playoff exit against the Denver Nuggets. Despite leading the Suns to their first NBA Finals appearance in a decade, Williams' tenure ends after two consecutive embarrassing playoff losses at home. The Suns had the best record in the NBA this season but were eliminated in the second round. Williams is expected to be a top candidate for coaching vacancies with the Milwaukee Bucks and other teams.
