Ty seems to be improving a bit, but I've always wondered how his baggage in the league has affected his coaching. Pretty interesting to see his life's work as a player in light of his coaching.

Some highlights:
As a coach who was a former journeyman player, you have to wonder how Corbin’s experiences as a player are influencing his coaching decisions today.
On Nov. 15 last year, Matt Harpring was a guest on 1280. During that segment, the host of the show related the following:
PK talked to Ty Corbin, and Ty was talking about how during his career, it bugged him that every time he went to camp, it seemed like every year there was always some new hotshot, who hadn’t proven anything, who was in front of him in the pecking order. And now, Ty plays veterans over young guys. I don’t think that’s an accident. That’s his story, that’s who he is.
Are Corbin’s experiences as a player influencing his coaching decisions, and are they influencing his coaching decisions to the detriment of the team? If so, does he see it?
This was Harpring’s response to Corbin’s comments on losing playing time to “new hotshots who hadn’t proven anything”:
As you get older, you gotta let things go, ’cause otherwise you will stay in the past and run through mud the rest of your life. So in order to get better, you gotta kind of learn from the past and move on. And it’s one thing to let it drive you and motivate you, but it’s another thing to keep revisiting it and let [it get] you back down.
