Posted on by Vaseline

Brent Barry moves from the front desk to the basketball court.

The Phoenix Suns have hired Barry as an assistant coach, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Barry will be reunited with new Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer. Budenholzer replaced Frank Vogel, who was fired after the 2023-24 season.

Barry, the son of Hall of Famer Rick Barry, has spent the past six seasons as an executive with the San Antonio Spurs. Barry has no previous coaching experience. The former Oregon State Beavers star played for six teams over 14 NBA seasons, including four seasons (2004-08) in San Antonio, where Budenholzer was an assistant coach under head coach Gregg Popovich. The Spurs won two championships during that time.

Barry joins assistant coaches David Fizdale, Vince Legarza, Mike Hopkins, Chad Forcier and Chaisson Allen on Budenholzer’s staff.
