Gentry has already let it be known about his excitement in coaching Anthony Davis, mouthing during the Warriors celebration that he and Davis would soon be there.

When the New Orleans Pelicans fired Monty Williams a couple of weeks ago, freeing up their head coaching position, many candidates began salivating at the chance to coach a team with a budding like Anthony Davis fresh off his first playoff birth. Looks like Golden State Warriors assistant coach Alvin Gentry is getting the chance, as he is expected to be named the Pelicans next head coach.

NBA: Suns Fire Coach Alvin Gentry
Can’t say I’m surprised by this, even though I do not fully blame Coach Gentry. The Suns announced a short time ago they were going to part ways with Alvin Gentry, which is usually the nice professional way to say they were going to fire him. He was 158-144 since he took over during the 2008-2009 season. Considering they play in the tougher western conference, that record is actually decent. But this year they have the worst record in the west at 13-28. Things have been dismal all year for the suns, partly because they just do not have much talent. I am sure Gentry will get another head coaching chance down the road somewhere. But for whoever takes over for the Suns for the rest of this season it is definitely going to be an uphill battle.
