Corbin NOT a straight shooter

Im confused.

So Corbin was punishing Al for getting 2 techs the other night by benching him for the 4 & OT? Then why did he bench Millsap too?

If he all of the sudden just decided to go with the rookies, why now? Why only play Favors sparingly then expect him to play the whole 4th quarter & OT without getting tired.

Al wasn't playing that bad was he? He did have about 15 rebounds in 3 quarters....

2) Ty is in a steep learning curve. Very few rookie coaches have success on their first stop. To bad for the Jazz.

That's true. But it should not happen with his hands on the controls of the mother ship. If the Jazz had him identified as the likely HC, why not have him go somewhere else for a bit and be the HC? A college, a JC, a foreign team. This is like handing the controls of the jumbo jet over to the guy who has been watching the pilot but not handling the controls for 7 years. Maybe he can do it, maybe he can't. No one knows. And if he cannot, it is gonna get ugly. It is ugly right now.

This is again the jazz "falling in love" with one of their own who is nice and hard working rather than making a hardnosed decision about who is best for the team. They went with comfortable and loyal rather than proven. And so far he is looking every bit the rookie HC. Not just a rookie NBA HC, rookie HC at any level.

When loyalty succumbs to cronyism.
 
I thought he was just going with the young guys at the end to see what they could do. They flopped in OT is all. Although I think Price was in there a little to long.

Why did Corbin wait until this game to ride the rookies?

I like most fans have been wanting the same but maybe there is some reasoning to his madness. Maybe by saying he isn't just going to be throwing minutes to the rookies only to those that deserve/earned them he was just waiting for the opportunity such as last night to present itself. He saw that they played with more energy as a unit and by laying the previous ground work (talk) he can now say they earned it and giving the rookies more confidence and sense of accomplishment they wouldn't have had otherwise even in a loss.
 
He needs to act like a professional. On the other hand I like the fact that he hates losing. He seems the most bothered by
our 2nd half of the season than anyone on the team. Remember when Malone used to lose his cool early on in his career, and rip cords on the broadcast
table on the way to bench or lockeroom? It happens. I can see both views here.

Sending that message in house is necessary. Corbin threw Al under the bus when he made it public.

But Al made it public by having a meltdown on the court where the home crowd and the home town reporters could all see. Ty had to respond and his response was soft compared to what it could've been.

Ty and the rest of the Jazz organization have been VERY good this season at not publicly criticizing players, coaches, management, including Al, even though the results show that criticism is due somewhere.
 
I'm willing to give Corbin another year, but I'm not too excited about him. It was great to finally move away from Sloan, but
we all knew the search for a replacement wouldn't be easy.
 
Corbin can't outright say this, but I think he was worried we would win the game, and finally went with the rooks in hopes we would lose.
He also wants to get some good draft picks now that he has a say in it.
The way players are dropping out of the draft, we might have to throw next year too.

Corbin wanted to lose a home game to a team that had won just one road game all year???
