Is Cotton Fitzsimmons on ESPN's 25 top 25 coaches 1979-2004?

If not, he really should be.

No

I am sure that the next person we will see in the Sun's Ring of Honor will be Cotton...I think Jerry and he were the best of Buds. Jerry looked close to tears at the funeral.

Listen, I loved Cotton and I am really sad that he's gone, but that list is the top 25 coaches of the last 30 years in all areas--its an absolutely stellar list. There are many coaches better than Cotton that would not make that list.

He belongs in the Suns ring of honor, but not on that list. No Suns coach does.
