The Suns Introduced New Head Coach Jordan Ott. Here's What He Had to Say.

Jordan Ott was officially introduced on June 11, 2025, as the Phoenix Suns' new head coach, becoming their fourth coach in four seasons.
The Suns hired Ott following a three-month search after finishing 36-46 last season and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2019-20.
Ott, a 40-year-old former assistant with the Cavaliers and Nets, emphasizes building the team around Devin Booker and adopting an aggressive defensive style.
General manager Brian Gregory praised Ott's work ethic as "beyond reproach" and called him a clear choice who stands out in leadership and player development.
Ott signed a contract spanning four years with full backing from the organization and plans to lead the Suns back to success while concentrating on the 2025 NBA Draft.
