Do the Jazz Have An Associate Head Coach?

If the Jazz were to bring anyone in for a position like this, it NEEDS to be Chip Engelland.

Give me the mother freaking shot doctor.

Imagine how deadly this team would be with a minimal improvement in three point shooting and free throws. . . and then consider how critical he is to the Spurs success. Quin and DL talked about the possibility a few years ago, but I think they need a full court press.

You'd want to make him the lead assistant coach because he's a great shooting coach?

...

Ok.

Do you believe that he's not capable of doing the job? Ideally, I'd have him brought in under a different capacity and have a more experienced coach in the lead role. Unfortunately, I don't see Engelland coming to Utah without a significant promotion and financial investment.

I'm fine with taking a guy who deserves a promotion and promoting them. I was all over the idea of Etorre Messina when Quin was hired. Would have gone full court press to get him on board too.

I don't know enough about Chip to say one way or another. But with what little I do know, I'm not too hyped on the idea. But maybe he's on point as an actual coach as well.

I think Larry Brown might be awesome to have on the bench as a repository of ideas and experience to bounce ideas off of and have in the mix. But I don't know why he just left SMU, or really why he was even there in the first place.
 
Not sure what it would mean one way or the other, but you remember that Quin was married to Larry Brown's daughter for a short time, apparently?

He left SMU because they wouldn't give him a long-term deal. Considering how much he has bounced around and his age, I can't blame them.
 
Considering the fact that the Jazz look to be trying to emulate the 2003/2004 Pistons, it might not be a bad idea to reach out to him. Biggest concern is that he'd be too outspoken and forceful, leading to chemistry issues. Wouldn't hate it if they did this, but still like Engelland as an option too.
 
It's really weird that Quin was married to Brown's daughter. Makes a fringe thing like this seem even moreso, though there was obviously a history with Brown before then.

That makes it more of a possibility? I don't know any guy who wants to work with their father in law.

Also I'm impressed that Quin like Utah's culture so much that he married all of Brown's daughters.
