Alvin Gentry named new Pelicans coach

[Jameerthefear]

Pelicans hire Alvin Gentry as head coach (http://www.insidehoops.com/pelicans-hire-alvin-gentry-053115.shtml)

[Haymaker]

That was fast.

[Genaro]

I think it's a good hire if they couldn't grab Thibs.

Davis will benefit greatly from Gentry's offensive schemes.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Good. Thibs would run Davis into the ground.

Was expecting Pelicans to hire Negro, I was right.

Why Masai ? Why hold onto Casey and not get a chance at this ?

Funny thing is that means Thibs is still available :oldlol:

I actually wouldn't mind Thibs as a defensive coach, for any team really. He's had his best success as a defensive coordinator.

Hardly.

True, in that case I will take Thibs everytime over Casey but it's not likely to happen.

Gentry isn't going to be successful as a head coach without defensive masterminds next to him.

You could say that about most coaches these days though, they all need a strong team of assistants behind them

[longtime lurker]

Good for Gentry, but he strikes me as the type of coach who is better suited as an assistant.

[navy]

Pelicans offense about to take off.

[coin24]

Great signing :applause: he did a good job with the Suns

Jimmer about to go off.

[SwishSquared]

Gentry isn't going to be successful as a head coach without defensive masterminds next to him.Lacob will pay to keep him next season, but Gentry should try to convince Ron Adams to come with him to New Orleans.

Been saying it for weeks- the Gentry & Ron Adams combo would be the best available option (in all likelihood) to get the Pellies to the next level.

[AintNoSunshine]

Wait so the Warriors has the Finals ahead of them and Gentry interviewed for a new job at this juncture??

[bdreason]

I hear Shaw is going to take his place in Oakland.

[senelcoolidge]

Not a bad hire, I don't see much improvement. About 9-7 in the West. Gentry does better as an assistant. He's not terrible though.

Get Mike Malone on the phone quickly son

[Horde of Temujin]

In B4 Pellies with no 1 offense and GSW back to Mark Jackson level production.
