Hopefully there would be a buyout arrangement by the Hawks.
If they are letting him talk to us, they already have something in mind. You don't let an employee have the conversation unless you are willing to let him go.Hopefully there would be a buyout arrangement by the Hawks.

Retaining the previous HC on the staff is not something a new incoming coach does. Dont need the players undermining his authority running to Triano if there would be a conflict.Definitely excited. My guess is Triano would be asked to stay on if Budenholzer is hired which is fine by me.
I'm thinking Triano has already been interviewed.

Triano is a veteran coach who initially did not have any interest in being a head coach again. If he stays, I think he will be a good fit.
I think keeping him on staff would be unfair to him and to the new coach.
Not if Triano wants to stay and the new coach is willing. I think Triano's attachment is to the players.
Maybe Triano can be hired in another capacity.
I guess its about what Triano really wants--and Bud too, of course.
I thought it was a possibility back when he said he just wanted to coach the players and didn't want to be the Head Coach. Once he declared real interest in the position, I think the idea of him coming back in a reduced role went out the window. But sure, if there's a consulting kind of role for him that might work out fine. Hire him to work full time with Jackson or Bender, something like that.
All I'm saying is the Suns should try to make room for Triano somewhere after this very difficult season... if he wants it.
McDonough and Budenholzer will know if it is reasonable.

I think the Suns should offer Triano the job as the head coach of the Northern Arizona Suns. That would keep him in the loop and it may even help if the Suns sent down guys like Bender and Chriss next year, in addition to some of the other fringe players like Danuel House, Tyler Ulis, Shaq Harrison, Alec Peters, etc.
I was just going to suggest that. Keeps him in the organization but out of Buds hair. Perfect.

I was all for Triano being retained as an assistant coach but now that the season is over I agree with others that it would be a bad move by the organization and could create issues with the next head coach. The only way I can see Triano sticking around on the staff is if Nash was hired as the head coach. Nash would most likely hire Triano as an assistant on his staff anyways if he got a head coaching job so I don't see that being an issue but I don't want Nash to coach the Suns at this stage because I'd hate to see him fail.
Why?
It just doesn't make any sense to me. When a head coach comes in he should have the ability to fill in his assistants as he wishes. If he wants Triano than great, but it shouldn't be something that the team tries to force upon the new head coach.I think Triano has done a good job with the Suns players this past season which has been difficult.
I'd like to keep him in the Suns organization if the Suns can find a suitable role for him.
