Except this is not always true. It could be argued at hat the Jazz' best player is Millsap and during the Nets game Corbin benched him for Favors and we won the game. It was the right decision and we got the right outcome.
I just don't understand the inconsistency with the rotations. Some games he gets creative and the outcome is pleasant. Other games he seems to be a robot regardless of the production on he floor and we lose. It is just getting to be too much.

Here are some of the highlights from this:
• If Al Jefferson is the corner stone to the offense he needs to fight for position more than he did tonight and the Jazz need to react better to the backside pressure that he was receiving tonight.• In the last 15 games in all but one when Al Jefferson shoots above 50% we win and when he shoots below 50% we lose – he is shooting a career low 47% on the season.That is exactly how that is written. I didn't do any adjusting at all.• Miami is better than the Jazz, they are an elite level championship team. The Jazz have a lot work to do to be at that level and don’t have any of that type of fire power. The Jazz win in Orlando and they are a game above .500 after playing 18 of 29 on the road and if they can stay with their head above water they can make a playoff push wit
This is the one part that brought a smile to my face:
All in all he was not being the Alpologist (or team apologist) that I have come to expect the last two seasons.• One of the high points of the game was when the Heat went back to their main guys LeBron, Wade and Chalmers and the Jazz had Hayward, Favors, Kanter all on the floor and they held their own for about 5 minutes
Playing well is priority #1 and nothing outside of that is really even close. If you're hoping someone else ****s up, then you don't deserve the break.

Highly, highly doubt it.
I'm still not convinced Ty doesn't have the mind, but if you can't command a locker room, literally nothing you know about basketball will matter. And so far, that's what we've been watching in the Ty Corbin era. The gutsiest thing he's done is close games without Millsap, who also happens to be the best soldier on the team, at least given his tenure, ability, and contribution over the years.
Anyone remember what happened the last time the coaching staff gave up on Al in Miami?

If the Jazz are so hell-bent on convincing everyone that Ty was the right hire, then they need to ****ing step up and help him make the right decisions and trade ****TY ****ING AL.

Generally, players respond much better to a coach that knows the game more than a coach that can intimidate. Brad Stevens would do fine because he would command respect with his IQ. Coach K is a little weasel, but the NBA guys respect his coaching ability. I think being VERY bright and being able to articulate your thoughts are crucial to being a top coach.

Put me on the Brad Stevens bandwagon.
****, man, it feels like any dreams for alternative coaching scenarios are paths that lead directly and solely to frustration.
(first update) Offseason to-do list:
(no order)
1. Let Mo, Foyeeee3, Al (s&t?), Watson, and Tinsley go.
2. Re-sign Carroll
3. Draft McCollum, Schroeder, and Giannis (leave the latter two in Europe for a year [maybe two years for Giannis]).
4. Sign Tony Allen
5. Try to keep Millsap. If that doesn't work, explore s&t options.
6. Remove Corbin. Hire Brad Stevens or SVG.
7. Sign Calderon to a one-year (2 max) deal, or see if the cash-strapped Lakers will let us absorb Nash's last year.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see what Hayward could do in an offense that actually seemed to give a **** about him?
