Definitely--you can try and control for tenure...but as I indicated above...Karl is most likely an outlier.

Yeah--this is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.

It's often been said that Jerry maximized players talent. Has anyone looked at this empirically? There are some confounding factors that you can add as controls (e.g., minutes played, age, injuries, etc)--but I think that the data will indicate that many players had their best years under...

Agreed...especially since Utah is primarily a college hoops/football state anyway... I don't think it'd take more than 2 more poor seasons for the Jazz to be in serious trouble.

Went to a game this year...sat close to the bench...the players weren't even listening to Ty. You can see it on TV...the players have bad body language when they go into the timeouts. Time to make a change.

Poetic... Deron was going to leave anyway.

Deron getting traded temporarily renewed my interest in the team...but then Favors sat on the bench the whole season.

I lost half my fandom when Jerry left. I think that I lost another 1/4 from this shiztastic season. I'm running on 1/4 of a tank...hopefully KFC et al. can make something happen this offseason...and by "make something happen..." I mean #FIRECORBIN.

So, do players have to hit 60 minutes played before Ty will make a substitution? Get Burks in the game.

This^^^

He kills the momentum on offense--and he's a huge liability on defense. It's kind of funny to think back on how things worked...out... Here are several chapters of this story--with a one line summary Lose Boozer -- Cheers from Jazz fans--the wicked witch is dead! Sign Al Jefferson -...

...well...if it hasn't happened already..it's time for the Miller family and KOC to become very uncomfortable. This team doesn't have a superstar...and they collapse down the stretch. Ty needs to get it figured out...or it's going to be a really long 3 years.

...because the NBA is filled with a bunch of dumb asses who don't know how to play the game correctly.
