Alvin Gentry has been fined $15,000 for public criticism of the officiating.
Gentry made his comments to the media following the Pelicans’ 107-101 loss to the Houston Rockets on March 17 at Smoothie King Center.
"The thing that bothers me more than anything, and I really don't care, we try to play the right way, and we play our asses off," Gentry said after the game.
"All we want is an equal opportunity to win the game, not have a situation where we are guessing on the biggest play of the game, where they call a 3-point foul from the corner. All of you take a look at the play, and if you think that's a foul, if anybody out here thinks it's a foul, then you tell me, and I'll shut up, and I won't say one more thing. You take a look at the play and tell me what you think when a guy comes up and winks and says, 'I got him.'"
