The New Orleans Pelicans were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Golden State Warriors, and that led to the firing of their coach. The latest reports are that former Phoenix Suns head-coach and current Golden State Warriors assistant-coach, Alvin Gentry is a strong candidate for the open managerial position with the Pelicans. Even though it is very likely that he will an NBA Championship this season, Gentry still has a desire to be a head-coach of his own team.
The latest rumors circulating around the media are the following:
“He’s more than interested. He really believes that this is a job that would certainly define him as a coach because of the opportunity that it creates. Certainly this is one of those jobs that you feel is probably as god as any job available right now, no question. Even if there were no other jobs, it would still be the best.”
Indeed, the coaching job at the New Orleans Pelicans is a very good one, as the team has all that it takes to improve. Anthony Davis is on the roster, and while he has been a beast this season, there is no doubt that he will be even better in the next campaign. Furthermore, under the right guidance, the rest of team can vastly improve.
The latest reports are that on 18th May, the New Orleans Pelicans received a permission to interview Gentry. It will be very interesting if the current assistant-coach of the Warriors decides to take the job in New Orleans. He is a very capable coach that has the skills to bring out the best from Anthony Davis.
