re: What's your take on Alvin Gentry?

He seems like a players coach that is heavy on theory and philosophy, but the Xs and Os of player rotations, matchups, play calling, general coaching intuition, and scheming for individual players / teams escapes him.

He is a great assistant, but fails hard when given the head coaching job.

Best that we find someone else to coach the team in the near future, but I am inclined to give him a chance with the new roster and assistant coach we just hired. Hoping it goes well.
