Dan Majerle is one of Phoenix’s favorite sons and Suns so promoting him to interim head coach would have been a huge hit with the fan base in such a dire time for the organization.

Majerle said he believes the interview process to replace former head coach Alvin Gentry was a charade because he thinks General Manager Lance Blanks already had settled on Hunter over the assistant coaches.
“It’s been a hard pill to swallow,” Majerle said.
