Chitown earned neg from me too. He is way off base in this thread and has made numerous comments that I find extremely offensive... especially wishing injury on a player and equating a person with bodily waste.

Seems like someone here subscribes to Tough Guy Magazine.

To me, Corbin will always feel like a consolation prize. It's really not his fault. When Sloan quit last year, in a desparate attempt to regain their image of stability, The Jazz FO quickly signed Corbin to a mulit year deal. In doing so, The Jazz franchise discarded possibly their greatest asset. And that is an organization with the reputation as a place where the inmates don't run the asylum.

The Jazz could have easily made Corbin interim and then waited to see what type of interest they could drum up in the HC position during the off-season. If they couldn't find anyone worthwhile, they could have then given Corbin his deal. By rushing through the process, Utah passed up a golden opportunity to bring in a proven winner.
 
"Ty the turd...." wow thats mature and constructive.

"Hopefully Bell suffers a career ending injury..." Please delete your account. I don't care if this was some kind of message board inside joke, you're a DB

My opinion, this is retarded.

A career ending injury? So you want the guy to get hurt? What a jackass. I am no fan of Bell and I think he was horrendous last year but I dont want the guy to get hurt. You need to relaxe a little. Also Corbin said the competition between Miles and Hayward was really good. That does not mean that they both cant start. Just that they are really haing a good competition and pushing each other. Isn't that what we should want as fans? Them challenging and pushing each other to be better?

I agree. It's a good idea to step back and think before letting your anger post for you.

I also agree that it's always good to have both players to be good to great players. You can never have enough talent on a basketball team. Besides, despite what is said on this board, players do tend to get hurt; especially in a hectic race of a season. We're going to need to be several players deep at every position.

The Jazz like to groom their coaches. Sloan groomed under Frank and Corbin groomed under Sloan. It does make for a smoother transition.

However, I was a little concerned last year about Corbin. He didn't seem like he was ready yet (understandable). This year, he does seem to know a lot more of what direction he wants to take the team (defense at least). I just hope his assistant coaches also step up. It takes a whole staff to make a good coach look great. Plus, there's too many unknown variables on this team for even the coaching staff to know what they have.

I'm willing to give them time to tweek and develop their system before I make any decisions about them.

On second thought, you're right.

Rushing into a decision instead of weighing your options is clearly the best course of action.

I doubt they rushed into this decision. You and I are not in on the inner workings of the Jazz. I have enough faith in the management to believe that they at least thought this thru and have been preparing for a while. No if Corbin was the right choice remains to be seen but I think him being headcoach after Sloan has been the plan for a while now.

LOL - you do realize they offered the job to Phil Johnson when Sloan quit?
