Jeff Hornacek fired as Phoenix Suns continue to lose
- 8 years ago
Jeff Hornacek has reportedly reached the end of the road with the Phoenix Suns a month after they decided to give their coach and popular former player a second chance.
Phoenix began the season with playoff aspirations after posting records of 48-34 and 39-43 in Hornacek's first two seasons, and after the offseason signing of center Tyson Chandler.
Sources had told ESPN in late December that the Suns, despite the organization's well-known fondness for Hornacek, were forced to contemplate a coaching change far sooner than they hoped because of a slide that had dropped them to 11th place in the Western Conference.
