Why the hell we didn't make a run at David Blatt?

i will tell you more

i read an interview with messina the other day where he said that he never received offers from nba and thinks that will never receive

i truly believe that the jazz didn't even try to get blatt
 
Neither guy has coached a single game as an NBA head coach yet (Snyder or Blatt)...let's wait till at least a fraction of the season is played out before judging or regretting our hire. I'm excited to see what Snyder can do.

Last year, this was not case, tho.
I believe Jazz are just too simple-minded to try to lure Euro coaches.
Besides they want to be the 2nd coming of SAS.
 
I watched some Euro ball when AK was playing and Blatt was the coach of the Russian team. Based on that I can tell you the guy can coach. His teams move the ball very well and he knows how to substitute. He seems to get the most out of his players and I think Blatt used AK a lot better than Jerry.

Not even as an assistant? Really, the best chance to get a NBA HC job these days seems to be if you are a part of the NBA inner circle. I think he should have offers as a HC now as it is, but he would be much better served just being over here as an assistant getting into that inner circle if being a NBA head coach is his goal. I bet he would've a lot of interest in a couple years at most if he did that, maybe even next year. Maybe he still will. You hear his name a lot these days. Much more than before, so he seems to be on the brink as it is.

His teams play with intensity and he is a great motivator. Players like Favors, Kanter and Hayward need a coach that motivate them.
 
Don't really want players who rely on their coach for motivation. Lebron isn't great because Spoelstra motivates him. And why don't we give Snyder a chance before crying about Blatt.

i don't know

he just said that beside the fact that there are a lot of rumors around his name, he did not received any offers and he thinks that he will never receive

anyway, i don't care about messina, there is nothing special in him, the point was that dl didn't tried to acquire a eurocoach

he also said that he decided to leave cska already in february only because it was a lot of pressure in the organization to win the euroleague and he didn't like it >> just like i said, this dude is soft and he wouldn't be able to succeed in the nba, because the level of pressure here is higher
 
Messina has a lot of experience but it is true that he is soft....he couldn't handle the pressure with Real Madrid either!
