Across the season, Young was in charge of the Suns’ game plans on the offensive end, which featured a heavy dose of pick-and-rolls for Booker and Beal. But Phoenix’s players questioned the coaching staff’s inability to structure the offense and maximize the output of a lineup featuring three of the game’s best scorers, per team sources.

An NBA head coach candidate, Young recently took the head coaching job at BYU, staying on Phoenix’s staff until the Suns were eliminated.

I think this was a weird Suns roster and situation, and I'm never going to assign much blame to an NBA assistant coach. I care more that NBA teams wanted to interview Kevin Young for their head coaching job than I do about the lack of success for a weird Suns team, but I still think it's interesting and worth sharing.
