He's coached 787 games as a HC and made the playoffs once. The end.
5 full seasons; never had this kind of talent.

It is. Sorry.

Context is for when you've coached 200 games, maybe. The numbers are the numbers when you've coached almost 800.

What sample size would be enough for you?

1000 games?

2000?

10000?

He took over a team that had won 55 games or more 4 years in a row.
First half season, they win 46, miss the playoffs,
Next season they win 54, make conference finals.
That team included HOFer Steve Nash, future HOFer Grant Hill, Jason Richardson, who's better than everyone on this team but AD/DC, Amare Staudamire, who was just about as good as AD/DC.
They rounded out their team with young Robin Lopez and Channing Frye, hustler Lou Amundson, 6th man of the year award Barbosa, Jared Dudley, and Goran Dragic.

You want to argue about him never having talent like this as a head coach?

The next year they had a losing record, with basically the same team minus Amare/Richardson/Barbosa, but added Vince Carter/Gortat/Aaron Brooks. There were no injury issues.

The next year he has a .500 team, no playoffs again, with the same team again. I guess Amare was that good.

the next year, he loses Steve Nash, and they have their worst start in the history of the franchise and fire Gentry in January.


Your turn to show me where he's been a good coach.
