Pelicans need a defensive coach


That won't fix it. This is Thibs' 2nd year in Minnesota. He added 2 of his guys that are really good on defense in Butler and Gibson. They are every bit as bad on defense as the Pels.

Erman was able to get last year's Pels into the top 10 on defense because he had Solo and AD was forced to play center more. You want to fix the defense the roster is a lot more likely avenue.

I'm not tied to Erman, although I think he's a good coach, but whoever comes in next I'd like to keep Finch. He's helped develop 2 successful modern offensive systems, I guess 3 if you count the Pels. He's the kind of guy you want on your staff.

I agree the roster has more to do with the defense than the coach.
I have never liked the hire of Gentry, and i still do not think he's a good coach, and it would be very dumb to fire him mid season, but i have no idea who to replace him with. I'm just not familiar with the coaching names out there right now.

Jerry Stackhouse is making a name for himself as a coach for the Raptors G-League team. Was Coach of the year last year.
Article on Stackhouse from August
From the few articles i've seen about him, he's expecting to be an NBA head coach soon. I liked what i've read about him.
