Budenholzer interviewed with the Suns for their head coaching job earlier this week, which was unusual. You don’t often see a currently employed head coach interview with another team for a job, but Budenholzer did.
Budenholzer led the Atlanta Hawks to the top seed in the Eastern Conference in his second season on the job. The team has been trending downward since and appears to be in full rebuild mode.
