Brian Gregory has transitioned from an NCAA Division I head coach to the general manager of the Phoenix Suns, rooted in a 25-year professional relationship with owner Mat Ishbia. Gregory acknowledges the importance of his connection with Ishbia, citing shared values and trust as foundational for their collaboration. The Suns aim to rebuild after a disappointing 36-46 season, hoping the Ishbia-Gregory partnership can bring success to a franchise that has yet to secure an NBA title during its 57-year history.
"I'm never going to shy away from the fact that one of the reasons I'm sitting up here is because of my relationship with Mat Ishbia," Gregory said Tuesday.
"But that relationship is founded on our alignment. Shared values. Shared work ethic. We've been through a lot together."
"Now the Ishbia-Gregory pairing will try to recreate that magic for a franchise that has never won a title in its 57-year history despite making the Finals in 1976, 1993 and 2021."
