    New Orleans native Robert Pack will be joining Alvin Gentry's staff as an assistant, league sources said Tuesday afternoon.

    Although Pack has yet to sign a contract with the Pelicans, a source said, but a verbal agreement has been reached. Pack is expected to work with the guards.

    Pack graduated from Lawless in 1987 and spent two years at Tyler Junior College before playing at Southern Cal. Pack, a point guard, played in the NBA from 1991 to 2004.

    He played for the then-New Orleans Hornets as a backup guard during the 2002-03 season under former coach Paul Silas. He returned to the franchise as an assistant coach in 2009-10.

    After New Orleans, Pack worked as an assistant with the Los Angeles Clippers from 2010-13 before he was hired by the Oklahoma City Thunder.After spending the past two seasons with the Thunder, Pack was extended a position by newly hired coach Billy Donovan on his staff.

    Pack joins Darren Erman, who was hired Tuesday as the associate head coach on Gentry's staff and will be in charge of defense.
