Second Consecutive Season Receives Accolade from Peers

Historic Season Leads to Recognition

PHOENIX, June 21, 2023 (11:57 AM MST) - The Phoenix Suns have announced that head coach Monty Williams has been named the NBA Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season.

Williams led the Suns to a remarkable 64-18 record this past season, finishing first in the NBA's Western Conference. Under his guidance, the Suns set a franchise record for wins and tied the NBA record for the best 50-game start to a season at 48-2.

In addition to his regular-season success, Williams also guided the Suns to the NBA Finals, where they fell to the Boston Celtics in six games. Despite the heartbreaking loss, Williams' leadership and tactical acumen were widely praised.

This honor marks another incredible achievement for Williams and the Suns. Last year, Williams became the first coach in franchise history to win the NBA Coach of the Year Award. His ability to motivate and develop players has been instrumental in the Suns' resurgence as a championship contender.

As the Suns embark on their quest for another NBA title next season, Williams' leadership will undoubtedly be a key factor. His unwavering determination, innovative coaching style, and ability to inspire his players make him a deserving winner of this prestigious award.
