Which NBA coach was the Phoenix Suns head coach in 2007? The answer is Mike D'Antoni.

D'Antoni coached Phoenix during the 2006–07 NBA season, guiding the Suns to a 61–21 regular-season record, the best mark in the Pacific Division. His team featured Steve Nash, Amar'e Stoudemire and Shawn Marion, and was known for an extremely fast-paced offense built around quick passing and three-point shooting.

The Suns defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 2007 playoffs before losing to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals. D'Antoni remained Phoenix's head coach through the 2007–08 season, so the answer is also correct when “in 2007” is understood as the calendar year rather than only the season label.

A common mix-up is Terry Porter, who later became the Suns' head coach in 2008 after D'Antoni left for the New York Knicks. D'Antoni had already established his Phoenix reputation by winning the 2004–05 NBA Coach of the Year award.
