뉴스 Terry Porter is new Suns head coach

[the MVP]

예상되었다시피 테리 포터가 헤드 코치로 임명되었네요.  연봉은 3년동안 7M을 받는거 같고요 옵션은 없습니다. 그리고 필 웨버 코치와 댄 댄토니 코치는 뉴욕간다고 하네요. 다른건 몰라도.. 아마레 수비 좀 어떻게 해주시길..

Today Suns General Manager and President of Basketball Operations Steve Kerr confirmed reports that Terry Porter will become Phoenix’s next head coach.
Porter, who has served as the Pistons’ lead assistant coach for the past two seasons, was also the former head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons. Porter was the last head coach to lead the Bucks into the postseason.
Porter and Kerr were former teammates in San Antonio during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 campaigns. Known as a heady player throughout his 17-year NBA career, Porter rose from obscurity as a Division III guard at Wisconsin-Stevens Point to become a two-time NBA All-Star.
"We had an impressive list of candidates, but Terry stood out based on his leadership, his communication skills and his coaching experience as the head guy in Milwaukee for two seasons and the last couple years in Detroit," Kerr said.
The Suns chose Porter over an impressive list of candidates that included Jazz assistant Tyrone Corbin, Rockets assistant Elston Turner and Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer. Throughout the search process, the Suns GM continued to stress the importance of finding a candidate that already had prior experience as a head coach.
In addition, it was believed that Kerr felt it was important to find a coach that possesed a balanced view of the game. The Suns desired a coach that put an equal amount of weight on offense as well as defense.
Thus far, Porter’s coaching career reflects just that. As the head coach in Milwaukee, the Bucks boasted the top scoring offense in the Eastern Conference. But as an assistant with the Pistons this past season, they were ranked the best defensive team in the league.
"He's a guy who is committed to uptempo basketball, which was important to us,” Kerr explained. “But he's also very experienced when it comes to defense, both from his time with the Pistons and as a player. He was a tenacious defensive player and he's very tough minded."
Porter’s introductory press conference should take place on either Monday or Tuesday. He will become just the 13th head coach in Suns history.
"I'm really excited just to get him in place. I think he'll do a great job with our team. Of course, part of being a good coach is having good players and we have that. So I'm excited about the opportunity for Terry."

오오! 드디어 결정됐군요...감독도 확실히 결정됐고~ 이제 드래프트에서15번픽 잘고르고, 오프시즌에 괜찮은 FA 잘 건져내는 일만 남았군요^^ 선즈 잘부탁드립니다!! 테리포터 감독님

[Charles #34]

그나마 나은 인물이지만 그 동안의 팀컬러는 보기 어렵겠군요

[STAT(zealot)]

커를 변호할 생각은 없지만 그동안의 스타일이 없어지진 않을꺼에요("He's a guy who is committed to uptempo basketball, which was important to us,), 색이 좀 옅어지긴 하겠죠 물론. 이제 아마레 가르쳐줄 코치와 경험많은 코치, 그리고 웨버코치 대신할 코치를 구해야겠네요. 호나섹옹이 웨버 코치 뒤를 잇는 것도 괜찮을 것 같은데.

[Strawberry]

포터 감독님..잘 부탁드립니다.

[The_Feeling]

(방문)탐 티보두같은 수비에 정통한 어시스턴트 코치가 선즈에 있다면 아마 무시무시해지지 않을까 싶네요.

[Shawn Marion]

여하튼 빠른 시일에 결정이 되서 다행이네요. 플레이 스타일은 바뀌겠지만 기대해보렵니다.

[I LOVE AI]

방문) 이 감독 좋은감독인가요?

[Ramirez]

어시스트 코치진도 두루 빠졌겠다 슈팅코치로 호너섹과 더불어 마뢰를 위한 빅맨코치 하나 데려왔으면 좋겠네요.

[Nothin But Air]

Suns Rising Again!!

[Suns.On.Fire]

정말 요번에 팀코치진 완전바뀌네요 새로운 선즈에 기대를 겁니다

필 웨버 코치...어떤 상황에서도 긍정적인 생각을 하시는 꼼꼼맨입니다. 너무 아쉽습니다. 앨빈 젠트리 코치는 꼭 지켰으면 합니다. 선수들에게 할 어려운 얘기는 늘 이 분이 맡을 정도로 선수들과 돈독하고 말을 잘 하는 분입니다. 아마레는 수비 이전에, 감독이 엄격하게 다뤄 줬으면 합니다. 아님 전담 코치를, 선수를 휘어잡는 무서운 타입으로 붙였으면 합니다.
