This guy seems waaaaaaaay sharper than the internet jokes give him credit for. This might be a big surprise for everyone next year when we start showing up.

[@aubm713]

No surprise, this is the guy for the job

[@gratefuldug]

I grew up with him. He’s a bona fide basketball genius and has a huge heart. Perfect match.

[@SecretAgentBartFargo]

@@aubm713 He has a shot at becoming a hometown hero.

[@BlueprintCA]

He stayed with Pop for 17 yrs, been head coach twice and won a ring !! Social media is waaaaaaayyyyyy dumber than it gives credit to itself

[@somatic47]

He was never a bad coach. As a Bucks fan he can just be very stubborn with adjustments, which can costs valuable games/series. More often than not your team will at least look prepared and fluid, with consistent rotations, that adjusting is just the achilles heal.

[@h9erbi9dog]

Wow, right from the start you can see he is extremely emotionally invested.

[@SecretAgentBartFargo]

He's an Arizona native. He's getting the chance to coach his most beloved team.

[@Narshe311]

Always on the break of tears. Havent seen a coach feel this way for a long time. I feel so much better now.

[@MyKafka-zk4jt]

Always on the BRINK of tears...

[@225MarloMike4snhs]

Made Giannis into everythang he is today 💯💯

[@Mrcool19771]

As a bucks fan , I wish coach Bud the best . He's a quality coach , a quality man.

[@CecilioLopez-t6o]

Thx as a suns fan I was there when we lost to him in the championship so hope he can lead us to gold

[@Mrcool19771]

@@CecilioLopez-t6o he has a challenge. The big three are great players in Phoenix but they have a different mentality than that of the bucks big three then..

[@andrepierrot89]

he showed more emotion/fire in a sentence than the team all last season... love to see it, let's rise.

[@alexx_thagoat]

this is what we needed, a coach not scared to coach and hold our star players accountable, frank was more of a fan than coach

[@alfonsobeltranjr.517]

Best wishes in Phoenix coach Bud.

[@avsundevilstate]

I'm loving the fact that his family. His dad. His homies that he said that are in the city. Everyone in his circle are ALL on board with him. They some real ones yo. HE a real one. Welcome to the valley "OG BUDDA" LETS GET IT

[@jg1322_]

i’m rooting for him

[@illhispanic]

35+ years I have cried of excitement before the season and have cried of disappointment after the season. I’m not shedding no more tears tears 😭

[@chiplopez520]

Cry when the Suns finally win a championship. Diehards like us have gone through a hell lot of losing the final game.

[@josma1169]

Welcome coach!!! Excited to have you lead us to glory, it’s time!!!! 🙏

[@dinoruiz1592]

Coach Bud 👏 thank you for taking this Job, been wanting you since Bucks let you walk. GOD Bless this new voyage your on with my favorite team in the whole U S of A the Phoenix Suns.

[@Halessss]

Welcome to PHX coach!! Let’s get it 🔥

[@EfAchYou]

Coach Bud will coach with heart, like a local boy growing up rooting with passion for his favorite team. Suns are looking good. For the first time, we get an owner with deeeeeeep pockets who doesn’t mind spending to win- Jerry was good but had to be thrifty; that doctor from Tucson was, well, let’s pretend he didn’t own the sun. And then we have a coach who is just perfect for the job. Even though we’re in a salary cap disaster, things are better than they could’ve been Let’s surprise everyone. Welcome back home Coach Bud.

[@AndrewThoesen]

29:25 Bud putting our max players on notice.

[@steverinehart8990]

I miss you in Milwaukee good luck Mike next year with the suns

[@WeWereTheJoySetBeforeHim]

Regardless of the crap that social media gives him, Bud is a great coach. Stubborn and if he'd be more open to adjusting when needed, there'd be basically no downsides. The second he took over in Milwaukee we went from average to elite. From the getgo. I'd be shocked if the Suns don't compete for the Finals next year

[@geo6559]

I’m pumped

[@abzthedabz1919]

I cant wait to watch this offense, lets get this ring

[@elneedah3456]

He looks so healthy, lost some weight. Looks so much younger.

[@Gamblersmoker]

Got our guy. Bud fucking rocks

[@feef4946]

IDK the rules for these pressers but no audible applause for McCoy is insane to me

[@Sudo117]

Can we just win a chip before i leave this world 😢

[@avsundevilstate]

Please baby Jesus

[@zackjames09]

From a spurs fan, You got a great coach. He was an assistant coach with the Spurs with Greg Popovich. Seeing his accomplishments with the Hawks and Bucks. I'm really happy for the Suns, they have a great chance winning Championship. I'm excited to watch the Suns next season, I have a great feeling he will help the Suns to win a championship next season or in few years.

[@dirkmyers7607]

We keep talking about the Big 3. This is a team sport. I really think it's disrespectful to the rest of the team. The truth is, Grayson Allen was the only one of our guys to exceed expectations. He shows he has a heart for our community and has done so much to change a narrative about him. Personally, I feel his contribution last year was a whole lot more important than we give him credit for. This team is going to have to play with some heart and want to start winning... Devin Booker hasn't proven he can finish yet. I am hoping this is the season he develops a heart and wants to win.

[@CecilioLopez-t6o]

Here we go phx all the way

[@RafaelLopez-cr7pe]

Star players follow their coach, especially those who have championship ring, that relationship will make Phoenix great again, who never knows giannis and brook will go with him…👍👍👍

[@Acoolyoutubename]

@@lvpradagucci5539 bruh 4 sgs in a 7 man rotation. only playable big u could argue to add was bol bol n and old thad young. the bench and team comp is trash. not a single playable wing defender on this team except kd

@Acoolyoutubename but u played none of them fool that what iam talking about how u beat a team 3 times in the regular season and get swept not playing ur bench 🤔 fool

coach bud losing weight 🔥

[@claymanclutcher]

dont put bol bol at the corner 3 every game. use him.

get the team chemistry together. beal seems like the odd man out with the team.

[@WildeMarshall]

White Kimberly Wilson Jose Thomas Scott

[@claymanclutcher]

get alex caruso.

[@Indiana-r9b]

They must trade one of booker of Beal, because history tells us you can’t win with two of your all star playing the same position, it’s just not gonna work. See kawhi and paul george, both SF, just can’t win.

[@thetruth7089]

I think this who kd wanted from the get go they have to trade nurk he is horrible

[@Jtstien]

He shouldn’t be a starter that’s for damn sure. Way out of his league

[@thetruth7089]

@@Jtstienyeah he can’t even play 30 minutes in a game is crazy to me got outplayed by Rudy gobert is crazy

[@scottkragerud]

Why is James Jones still our GM? Lol so tired of this guy. Passed on Halliburton, shai, Luka, Brunson. And so many more. He’s hot trash man.

[@michaelevans-im5fv]

JJ uuugh needs 2 go

[@apexroots]

1st order of biz, BAN call of duty and all video game play to anyone under 13 yrs old on the roster. 2nd order of biz, any hint of non buyin from anyone, including (especially) Kd. Immediate bench for 1 game and 3 strike policy equals bench for season. Ie trade urself, Bye bye, u won't be missed

[@azmadeclutch9666]

Corny

[@apexroots]

@azmadeclutch9666 right.., what's your solution for betamale coaching and zero fks given by the stars last year?? Bc Player overempowerment and whining about bad offense schemes ain't it. I heard these scrubs mention cod half a dozen times last year and they got swept easily

[@kjin7]

yeah.... welcome to the coach who robbed the suns of a chance to win one... outcoaching us for 4 straight games... Is it gonna change something with this line up? Mmmmm... don't know, but it sure will be awkward to see his face on the suns bench.

[@titanovterror]

Jesus Relax

[@kevtown20]

Brooo what lol

[@reniisgod]

Awkward? 😂 If he has out coached us in the past, logic would say he could plug those gaps. This is a fantastic appointment. Good luck to Bud 👌

[@Jtstien]

This comment 😂 gtfo

[@wyatthowe9234]

Weirdo hahah

[@osko_productions]

If Bud puts Bol Bol in the rotation I will never criticize him.

[@daddytone3608]

I don’t see Bol bol coming back. He’s probably going to get offered more somewhere else.

[@granthaffner9286]

Bud always plays his vets heavy minutes. I wouldn’t count on it. As a Bucks fan a lot of the team’s younger players like Donte DiVincenzo and Grayson Allen have become solid players on other teams but were nothing other than rotational role players in Milwaukee bc Bud refused to play them. Much love to Bud though he got the Bucks to the promise land and as a fan I’m forever grateful. Hope he does well in Phoenix

[@osko_productions]

@@granthaffner9286 i dont think you understand the situation in phx last season, Bol appeared in about half of the games that season and only about 20 of those games did he ever play over 10 minutes. (Those games were eye opening) Vogel was essentially wearing horseblinders the whole regular season and just banished him back to the end of the bench

[@adamf805]

This by far best decision I think he brings heart and leadership and we need that to win. Super excited now to see next season and who doesn’t love Al McCoy I mean to be introduced by him that’s pretty cool.
