Mat Ishbia: Losing is never easy, but I feel really good today about our team and am already thinking about where we go from here. I’m so proud of this season and want to thank every single person who made this year possible. First, thank you to the fans who supported our team every single day... and the players, coaches, front office, and entire organization who worked so hard to give our community a team to be proud of. So many fans have told me how much they loved cheering on this team and were proud of how we competed for 48 minutes every game. This season introduced a new era of @Suns basketball and we have a lot more work to do, which I am truly excited about, and we are just getting started!
Mat Ishbia: I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.
Michigan State HC Tom Izzo reveals he was in talks with the Phoenix #Suns: "I've had more than a couple job offers in the NBA, looked at one last year with Phoenix – my former player Mat Ishbia. That was hard, that was a hard thing to turn down... we talked seriously about it."
Marc Stein: Tom Izzo could have been the coach of the Phoenix Suns. Today Izzo confirmed on the @dpshow something that has circulated in NBA coaching circles for the past year: He turned down Suns owner Mat Ishbia last spring when offered the chance to jump to the NBA. The Suns hired another coach with Michigan State ties instead in Jordan Ott and have themselves a Coach of the Year candidate.
