Lowell "Cotton" Fitzsimmons was born in Hannibal, Missouri. He was an American college and NBA basketball coach. He coached the Phoenix Suns three times, was named the NBA Coach of the Year twice, and is often credited as the architect of the Suns' success of the late 1980s and early to middle 1990s. In 1977, Cotton Fitzsimmons was hired as head coach by the Buffalo Braves. He lasted there one season, being hired by the Kansas City Kings to be their head coach for the next season. With the Kings, he won the NBA "Coach of the Year" award in 1979. At the moment of his retirement, he had 832 wins and 775 losses, making him the eighth winningest coach in NBA history.
