It's not unheard of for coaches to improve. Terry Stotts and Doc Rivers had losing records before finding success. Rick Carlisle was fired from 2 jobs before finding a place in Dallas.

Gentry has questions, but he's the name I like the most out of all the rumored targets. Guys like Atkinson are intriguing, certainly. But, they have to blow the team away in interviews to overcome lack of experience. Unless he clearly separates himself from more seasoned candidates, there's far too much riding on the next few years to take a chance on a young guy.

I'll say this: I'd much rather Gentry over JVG.

Doc spent 4 years in Orlando before going to boston.
Coach of the year his second season, never had a losing record.

Stotts won't be a head coach for long, was never good, still isn't good.

Rick Carlisle has always been a great head coach. He was extremely successful in Detroit and indiana.

or a guy with a resume like Gentry.
