Byron Scott Mounts Public Bid for Arizona State Head-Coaching Vacancy

He says no contact has been made despite two years of preparation featuring a staff plan alongside NIL backing.

Overview

  • The three-time NBA champion and former NBA Coach of the Year has declared strong interest in taking over the Sun Devils.
  • In a new interview, Scott said he has not spoken with Arizona State but is "ready to go" and waiting for a call.
  • Scott argues his NBA background fits today's college game shaped by the transfer portal and NIL rules.
  • AZ Central reported a podcast host claimed Scott already interviewed for the job, a claim he would not confirm.
  • His case pairs a deep pro résumé with no college head-coaching experience and a last NBA stint in 2014–16, as the search remains open.
