Finally, somebody from the Phoenix Suns organization is getting the respect they deserve. This week, head coach Monty Williams was named NBA Coach of the particular Year, and it’s about damn time.

In professional sports, we often hear players go public with the desire for a new contract instead of just allowing their performance on the court or field to speak for them.
