Budenholzer reminisces on Arizona past, but quickly turns to future leading the Phoenix Suns

Mike Budenholzer got a little teary-eyed talking about his past in Arizona, describing an idyllic childhood in the small town of Holbrook, about three hours northeast of Phoenix. “It's mind-boggling to me, like mind-blowing, to think that I'm going to be the head coach of the Phoenix Suns,” Budenholzer said on Friday during an introductory press conference in downtown Phoenix. The 54-year-old Budenholzer replaces Frank Vogel, who was fired on May 9 after one disappointing season.
