NBA.com: Van Gundy, Gentry named Coaches of the Month

The Orlando Magic’s Stan Van Gundy and the Phoenix Suns’ Alvin Gentry today were named the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Coaches of the Month, respectively, for games played in October and November.

In this video from suns.com, the guys weigh in on their favorite movies of the summer. Looks like there’s a lot of comedy fans because several of them chose the outstanding comedy The Hangover as their fave. Robin Lopez gets bonus points for picking Star Trek, which was one of my favorite movies of the summer, and for saying he enjoyed 500 Days of Summer, which my favorite Suns fan, Chris Coffel, reviewed for Trashwire. Check out other faves in the video below.

If you haven’t already seen my tweets about this, here’s a link to my interview with ValleyoftheSuns.com about the NBA and social media. Check it out!

When Suns head coach @AlvinGentry first started tweeting, he credited his daughter for getting him to join Twitter.

So who better to go to for the second part of ValleyoftheSuns’ in-depth look at social media and the NBA than Alexis Gentry herself?

OK, so the head coach has only sent out a happy Fourth of July tweet since the draft lottery, but he provided some insightful commentary on the Suns’ season last year and promises to do so again this season.

Alexis answered a couple of my questions via e-mail about how her dad got on Twitter, what grade she’d give him as a tweeter and what she’s doing with her entertainment Web site, Trashwire.com.
