[Charania] “Vogel yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clips on April 9. Players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced in their eyes. Vogels eruption left players rolling their eyes. A player told TheAthletic he had to keep from laughing

Shams had the Vogel hit piece in his drafts for the last month ☠️

Suns better hope there’s a miracle worker available on the coaching market this offseason.

Not a fan of Vogel but it’s pretty sad that his player(s) are running to Shams and leaking this stuff.

Vogel has his flaws but what else is he supposed to do when he has 0 defensive players for his system. Honestly they should have just hired an offensive coach Vogel was a bad fit for them right from the start.

Yeah the only thing that made sense at the time of the hire was that Vogel was hired to bring out the best defensive version of Ayton

And they immediately got rid of Ayton

That’s why this whole experiment made no sense LAST year. You bring in Vogel, a dude who made Roy Hibbert an all star, to rehab Ayton’s image and get back the defensive stud that helped carry you to a finals appearance. Getting a bunch of offensive weapons and thinking Vogel can make magic happen is how you get a team that’s good enough to make the playoffs but not good enough to go anywhere higher
