Ott and fellow Cavs assistant Johnnie Bryant reportedly were among the finalists for the Suns' head coaching job. Suns star Devin Booker was involved in the hiring process and had Ott as his top choice, Charania reported.

Ott will become the Suns' eighth head coach since the franchise selected Booker in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft . Only one of Ott's predecessors has held onto his position for more than two years ( Monty Williams , 2019-23).
