Some Phoenix Suns fans on Sunday night did not hide their displeasure with head coach Frank Vogel.
When Vogel was introduced during the Suns pregame festivities prior to Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the coach was booed.
The boos for Vogel came the same day that a report said claimed that the coach’s job may be in jeopardy.
Vogel led Phoenix to a 49-33 record this season, which ranked the Suns sixth in the West. The team drew the Timberwolves in the first round and fell behind 3-0 to begin the series.
The Suns went all-in last season when they acquired Kevin Durant in a trade. They doubled down this offseason by prying Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards. Much was expected from the Suns, but Beal missed 29 games and Devin Booker missed 14 games. A first-round playoff exit certainly wasn’t what the franchise envisioned, which is why fans were unhappy entering Game 4 down 3-0.
Regardless of how the fans feel, Vogel said before Game 4 that he felt confident regarding his job status because he has the support of team owner Mat Ishbia.
