Mike D'Antoni, the NBA's Coach of the Year for the 2004-2005 season and the
man credited with re-invigorating fast-break basketball in a league gone stale
will not be back to coach the Phoenix Suns for the 2008-2009 season (SI.com)

D'Antoni deferred questions about his job status after the Suns were
eliminated by the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of their Western Conference
first-round playoff series on Wednesday night at the AT&T Center in Alamo
City. "I'm just really proud of my guys," D'Antoni said after the Spurs' 92-87
win that marked the third time in four years that San Antonio has ended the
Suns' season. He did not address his own situation. But sources within the
organization confirm that D'Antoni feels he does not have the backing of upper
management--specfically owner Robert Sarver and general manager Steve Kerr--
and considers the situation irredeemable.

The Suns have long been on of the NBA's model franchises, and both D'Antoni
and Kerr, for whatever differences they might have about the direction of the
team, are respected around the league. It's hard to believe, then, that
D'Antoni's situation would devolve into an ugly, protracted war, New York
Knicks style.

Possible destinations for Mike D'Antoni include the Chicago Bulls, New York
Knicks and Toronto Ratpors, where Sam Mitchell's coaching future is an ongoing
discussion and where Bryan Colangelo, D'Antoni's former boss in Phoenix and
still a close friend, is calling the shots.
