Nothing more to add to Zach Lowe's comment.

Local reports that Gentry is out in Phoenix. Current roster is a mess, regardless of coach. Gentry is a good guy + solid coach.

Terrible.

I think you mean he "mutually parted ways".

Coaching changes galore in AZ!

Any according to sportszona, on twitter, Majerle expected to be interim.

Sucks we are losing Ray Horton though. Looks like he will accept browns DC position.

i guess they're getting things ready for phil jackson

Blanks should have been fired.

Please not Majerle - disaster. We don't need more proof that the frontoffice is completely incompetent

After firing of Alvin Gentry today, top candidates to become Suns interim coach: assistants Elston Turner and Lindsey Hunter, sources say.

Turner is not head coaching material. Lindey Hunter is my guy between these two.

i loved alvin but he was just getting sloppy on rotations and seemed to have checked out with nash and hill months ago.

now majerle can run this team into the ground and get us a higher pick

Shame...Gentry not to blame for team's struggles.

You guys need an established coach - not a rookie

[Saberestar]

What they are thinking?? Another Porter next? Gentry is a good coach, not Popovich of course, but he is well respected and liked by his players, and that is a lot in the NBA.

[TruthTelling]

as long as it is not Dan Majerle.. that guy shouldn't even be an assistant coach I think.

Robert Sarver should coach the rest of this wasted season, would be for the best.

Please no turner. The guys sits there and aleays looks lost. And his "famous" defense speciality sucks!

Agree 100%. This is basically the Skiles situation all over again. Gentry didn't have an extension, and wasn't going to be back. Time to just move forward, but if they go with Korsokov or Majerle, we're in trouble.

[GrantHill]

Part of Suns thinking w/ holding back Hunter as interim coach has been hope of giving him clean slate to take over in offseason, sources say

This organisation kills me.

[bigfoot]

Marjerle is a complete ham and party boy. No way should he be a interim head coach. They might as well hire Charles Barkley. Those two as head coaches while entertaining would be a down right disaster. I can see them taking the all rookies to titty bars to console themselves in the next 25 losses this team is going to face.

[exSunsFan]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude sucks and has no clue how to develop or rotate!!!!!


Don't hire suns staff hire from outside


Beasley is about to shine!!! Heard gentry hate him and talke Down

[wordsenuff]

i wonder how dragic feels.. a big reason he came back was so he could play under gentry

[bigfoot]

One thing I won't miss is watching Gentry burp all the time during his post game interviews
