Suns officially announced: Jordan Ultra is hired as head coach, he is the boss alumnus + once served as the Cavaliers Lakers assistant coach

On June 7, the Suns officially announced that they had officially hired Jordan Ultra, the 40-year-old former First Cavaliers, as the new head coach of the Suns. According to previous reports from Suns reporter John Gambadoro, the Suns signed a four-year contract with Jordan Ott.

The Suns have frequently changed their coaches in recent years, from firing Monty, the winner of the difficulty of the head coach award, to firing former champion coach Vogel, and then firing another former champion coach Budenholzer this summer, the Suns are constantly changing coaches and trying and wrong.

Budenholzer signed a large contract with the Suns for more than $50 million for five years in the offseason last year, but he fired Budenholzer after only one season.

Now the Suns have officially announced that they have officially hired 40-year-old Jordan Otter as the team's head coach. He and Suns boss Ishbiya are Michigan State alumni. Jordan Ultra previously served as an assistant coach in the NBA for 12 seasons, and has served as assistant coaches in Budenholzer (Hawks), Atkinson (Nets), Vaughan (Nets), Hamm (Lakes), and Atkinson (Cavs).

Jordan Ultra served as assistant coach for Atkinson twice, and became the Cavaliers assistant coach in the 2024-25 season, helping the team win 64 and 18 losses in the regular season, but unfortunately they were eliminated by the Pacers in the second round of the playoffs 1-4. In addition to serving as an assistant coach, Jordan Ultra has also served as the head coach of the summer league three times in his past career, namely coaching the Cavaliers in 2024, coaching the Lakers in 2022 and coaching the Nets in 2021. Now Jordan Ultra has become the head coach of the Suns and will serve as the head coach of an NBA team for the first time in his career. Whether it can help the Suns get out of the predicament is worth looking forward to.
