The Phoenix Suns officially introduced their new head coach at a news conference this Monday morning. In taking the reins of the team with the worst record in the NBA this season, Igor Kokoskov became the organization’s sixth head coach since 2013.

Kokoskov said  he’s ready for the challenges of turning the Suns back into a winner.

“We can't talk basketball, we have to play basketball," he said. "So I know it will be a huge challenge and a lot of things have to be done, but I hope ... five years from now, that the Phoenix Suns organization can look back and say that it was a special day for them, too.”

Scott Bordow, who covers the team for the Arizona Republic, joined The Show to talk about Kokoskov and what’s next for the Suns.
