 Suns Head Coach Alvin Gentry, who seemed to have brought his entire family to the game for a pleasant day out, revealed his true motivation for his attendance in the first period when he began jeering Stoudemire and Dudley with overly-sarcastic shouts of “fire the coach” and “draw up a play!”
When Gentry was reached for comment the next day, the veteran coach reiterated his point, “They should keep their day job. I think they’re much better at being coached than coaching. But I give Amar’e props for having the best assistant coach I’ve ever seen though.”
Gentry was referring to pop star Ciara, who due to her plane being delayed, showed up early in the second half to a nice round of applause. It wasn’t quite as dramatic as Willis Reed entering Madison Square Garden’s court during the 1970 Finals, but it certainly energized the arena.
Especially, the male contingent.
“Best part of the day was Ciara coming out,” Dudley remembered fondly. “She had the outfit of the day and she was Coach of the Year.”
Atypical praise from an opposing coach, but the leather pants-wearing R&B siren was certainly well-deserving of it. So much so, that Gentry’s 8 year-old son even commented.
“My wife put on some leather pants the other day and my wife asked my son what he thought and he said, ‘Mom, those are out of style,’” Gentry recounted. “So yesterday my wife said to him, ‘Ciara has got on leather pants, I thought you said those are out of style.’ And he said, ‘Not on her mom.’”
