Gentry Would "Love" To Coach 'Cats

[Pugz]

Alvin Gentry considers Charlotte his home and made it clear that he would love to coach the Bobcats, who have a head coach opening after firing Mike Dunlap.

It reminds me a little bit of the teams I had in L.A. (with the Clippers): Young players, very energetic guys, Gentry said. Kemba (Walker) and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist havea lot of potential and (Gerald) Henderson has started to really establish himself as a pro.

Ive seen a lot of their games. Yes, theyve struggled at times, but thats a situation where you could make a big change in a year or so. I know that player development is really important to that job.

Gentry, 58, was let go by the Phoenix Suns this season.

You know theyre going to get some good young players with those picks and then they have the (cap) flexibility to add a very good veteran player, somebody who can serveas an example to the rest of the locker room, Gentry said.

And youve got Michael (Jordan as owner) the best player to ever put on a uniform. Id certainly use him as a resource.

I think he's trying to suck up to the Bobcats to let them know that he is available

Gentry is a fine coach. He just never had a roster in Phoenix. I'd like to see what he can do developing young players.

I haven't seen enought of phoenix to guage if he's a good coach but if bware's right, why not give him the chance.

Not like people will be lining up for the job
