During the NBA’s month-plus hiatus, one compelling element of the brand-new “Pelicans Playback” show has been analysis of on-court X’s and O’s by New Orleans’ front office and broadcasters. Starting Sunday, the people who’ve drawn up those plays will be featured on the 30-minute broadcast.
Pelicans assistant coach Chris Finch is the first member of Alvin Gentry’s staff who will participate as a guest. Finch will join Jennifer Hale on Sunday at 5:30, prior to the Fox Sports New Orleans rebroadcast of New Orleans-Chicago from Feb. 6. Other coaches – including Gentry – will be on the show in other upcoming programs.
