Pelicans Choose Gentry As HC

[elcheato]

The league is much different than when he last coached. I question how well he'd do.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Apparently Gentry has started making calls about who he could get to join his staff if he were hired.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

There's mutual interest between Pels and Hoiberg it sounds like. Would be my dream hire.

 

[cruzg24]

My sources tell me Alvin Gentry is going to coach the Pels.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think I'd put my money on Hoiberg or Van Gundy right now.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Really sounds like JVG to the Pels is gaining steam. May be the front runner.

 

[elcheato]

One step closer to becoming commish and changing every rule

The New Orleans Pelicans’ coaching search is gathering momentum, a process that included a formal interview Tuesday with Jeff Van Gundy, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Van Gundy, one of the NBA’s top available coaches, and New Orleans officials met in the Bay Area to discuss the opening. The sides had spoken over the phone, but this was the first face-to-face meeting, league sources said.
For now, New Orleans officials and Van Gundy are beginning the process of getting to know each other. Van Gundy had traveled to the Bay Area for his role as a television analyst for the Western Conference finals.

How does this guy keep getting interviews? 

 

[jonathanlambert33]

There's not any real interest there, Dell is just interviewing anyone who expresses interest in the job and Skiles is a friend. Heard he's already interviewed 12+ people.

i thought skiles was in orlando?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Doesn't seem to be much truth to that, some believe it was a tactic to get Chicagos attention.

 

[RipCity32]

They talked with Del Negro. Heh

 

[jonathanlambert33]

The term interview has been used very lightly, like I said above they've talked to just about everyone. I could probably give you three names and comfortably say one of those three will be the next coach.

AD to Bulls confirmed. 

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I said a week ago when Thibodeaus camp found out the Pelicans weren't interested they floated those "Pels are cheap" rumors. Now that he's out of a job, they are floating the "Thibodeau has no interest in Pelicans."

I've been wondering what it would take to get Carroll from Atlanta. Ryno for Carroll?
