Coaches salaries and potential impact on small market teams

[green]

Do you guys realize that if Utah gets Jabari, or Wiggins, or Exum and they turn out to be All-NBA, it doesn't matter who the coach is?

Well if Corbin is still here, then Wiggins or them would come of the bench behind a guy like Jefferson and be turned into a spot up shooter. Gotta develop the All-NBA.

Lol. Nice. Didn't see that one coming, though I should have.

My point is that, if Wiggins or Jabari are good enough, it doesn't matter. Does anyone think Spoelstra is an exceptional coach?

It always matters who the coach is. Maybe not as much but it'll matter.

I see where you are going with this but havign a terrible coach hinders a team. Also Miami has Wade and Bosh.

I think it absolutely matters within this scenario. Wiggins/Parker in the 5th+ year of their career? No. Coming in as a rookie, yeah.

You're talking possibly the best player ever, Bosch and Wade with Spo. Sorta apples and backhoes, dawg.

Do you realize it absolutely maters who the coach is? And yes Spoelstra is a great coach. All you see is games which is the tip of the iceberg. Practice, player moral and team discipline/chemistry all are on the coach. That makes or breaks a team.

Shaq and Kobe were the Jazz's bitches until the Lakers fired Dell Harris and hired Phil Jackson.

Hopefully I don't sound like I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth, but I agree with core4 that the Jazz could do worse than brad Jones and he seems like a logical fit. He is going to be a head coach somewhere.....

But if the jazz go with him they are going to have to sell it, Mention brad jones here and many people say who? This despite C4 and others talking about jones since he was hired last summer. The jazz are going to have to make a big deal about a search and interview process and then announce their criteria, and really hype jones.

I don't really think the hype matters all that much. The hype is only really good for generating interest in the offseason for the press conference, and maybe sell a few tickets, etc. The coach's philosophies and in-game decisions are what fans will pay attention to. If the new coach has a good feel for the game, relationship with the players, no preconceived notion that a vet is always better, and a fierce competitive spirit: they will win over the fans, and his name won't matter.

I used to be on the brad jones bandwagon, but not now. Jazz can't afford to wait and see if he works out. They need to win fans back with the next coach hire, and that starts with winning the press conference that announces the new hire, and Brad Jones doesn't do that. Nobody gets excited for that.

I also think they need a character, a personality, someone with charisma. Frank Layden was a character, and Jerry Sloan was quotable, plus people tuned in to games to see if he was going to go postal on the refs or one of his players. SVG wins the press conference, gets the jazz credibility nationally and makes great sound bites for the radio or nightly news....and he wins.

Jeff Hornacek pretty much implodes this post.

Spoelstra is an exceptional coach.

Additionally, MJ and Kobe never even made an NBA finals without Phil Jackson. Coaching is absolutely critical and if you can't see that, then I can't see why anyone would take anything you say seriously.
