The decision of Gentry has to be a sigh of relief for some Pelicans fans that have seen names like Scott Skiles and Vinny Del Negro appear over the last week, and even though he’s not the defensive genius of Tom Thibodeau, or been to an NBA finals like Jeff Van Gundy, Gentry will bring an experience and pedigree that New Orleans fans can be excited about.
