In two seasons as the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, Alvin Gentry is sporting a record of 64-100. He was thought by some to be in a vulnerable position, along with general manager Dell Demps, however Pelicans owner Tom Benson and executive vice president of basketball operations Mickey Loomis continue to support both.
"After careful and thorough review of basketball operations, we have made the determination that the best course of action as we move forward into the 2017-18 season is to continue under the leadership of Demps and Gentry," Loomis said in May.
