Suns coach Alvyn Gentry is considering adding Mark West to help him out, the Arizona Republic is reporting.

West is currently the team's vice president for player programming.

"Yeah I've thought about that," Gentry said of adding West to his staff. "We'll see where it takes us. I have him helping out with practice. He's another good guy for Robin (Lopez) and Lou (Amundson) and those guys to bounce stuff off. The guy has a really good basketball mind. I coached him in '94-95 in Detroit. There's nothing definite yet but I like having him at practice."
