The Phoenix Suns fired Frank Vogel - James Jones was asked why at a press conference.
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns officially introduced Mike Budenholzer as their next leader of the franchise today in front of reporters at a press conference in downtown Phoenix.
Among the questions asked today was about Frank Vogel, who served just one year as the organization's leader before being fired. The Suns didn't immediately can Vogel after being swept in the first round of postseason action, though after doing their due diligence, they decided it was best to move on.
"And we moved quickly to Bud just because when we look at our roster and what our roster needs, he fits it." "I'm a competitive guy. We talked about this too - throughout the process, Bud must have said 'compete' 95 times in two minutes. Compete every day. Compete in practice. Compete with each other, against each other. Compete against your opponent, but more importantly, compete with yourself. And I thought that that was an area of our team where we could be better. There were spouts where we didn't reach our potential.
