The most exciting thing about a new coach is the possibility of substitution patterns changing.

All through the Sloan and Corbin coaching era, I questioned the reasoning behind their substitution patterns. I just hope, that for once, I can watch the game and feel like we have the appropriate best 5 on the floor, regardless of how much they make or how old they are, and then I can live with the results. I thought Sloan and Corbin blew it on so many occasions when they were playing the wrong player(s). It always felt like Sloan and Corbin wouldn't hold their favorite guys accountable on defense. Like Boozer and Jefferson.

I hope to god and Santa Clause that those days are gone. I'm less worried about the X's and O's part. Just get the defensive accountability and substitutions right, and it will be a huge improvement.

Also, it doesn't hurt that the whole league won't know every single one of our plays by heart.

(Even though we don't have vets where Snyder could screw it up)

Cue the Sloan and Corbin supporters. Don't care though. I'm not the only one who feels this way.

This is a little near sided.

Let me start by saying you need vets to win games. You can't just put 5 young guys on the court all the time, and expect to win consistently.

You also need to have some offensive fire power coming off the bench. I had no problem with Burks and Kanter coming off the bench, as this allowed us to keep pace with other teams. The only problem is that Corbin's vets sucked most of the time, and he should've played Burks and Kanter more minutes.

As for Sloan, it's completely retarded to question a HOF coach in Sloan. Sloan did have good vets at his disposal, and he utilized them. If he felt a young guy gave his team a chance to win they played and got minutes, and as far as Deron goes. He started his rookie season as the starter, and started off well, but then his play started to decline considerably, so he was benched, but the benching had a purpose. He was later put back as the starter and played better, and showed better effort. Later Deron even stated he was pissed about the benching, but he also recognized that it helped him be a better player.

Your argument is way off base. Ty not so much, but I never had a problem with Sloan's rotations and he got results.

And for the record I have no problem with Burks and Kanter coming off the bench, but they need starter minutes. I do think this would help the Jazz win games
