JVG. But that'll never happen. We locked up Corbin for next year as well because the fans know him and more importantly, he's cheap. So cheap I'd guess he's one of three lowest paid head coaches in the league.
As hard as it is to understand, the performance over the past couple of weeks already felt to me like years... so don't even want to imagine how long 2 years would feel...
No.. but he did have to integrate more than a few new recruits during the off-season (Boozer, Korver, Brewer, Asik, Bogans, K Thomas), 3 of which are starters. Also Boozer missed more than a few games to start the season.
But that's not the point - Thibodeau had proven himself with Celtrics while Ty has not. Was it prudent to lock him up long term straight away?
Wow so many Corben apologists here. Face it the Millers are cheap and did the wrong thing giving him a contract before he did anything.
To blame Corbin for this buffet of crap that is Jazz basketball is ludicrous, ridiculous, and ignorant. Just in case you forgot, let's recap the events of the past few weeks. Jazz team, particularly the point guard stuffs his head up his butt, and won't correctly run the plays, creating tension in the locker room, which parlays in mostly pathetic results on the floor. Lord Sloan resigns to go drive a tractor turning the Jazz into an emotional, apathetic conglomeration of binky-toting millionaires who feel sorry for themselves and don't know which way is up. Deron, appropriately becomes the fall guy, and is traded. Now, since I have to go slow for you, let's recap the first paragraph. Team loses Master and best player. Not only was he the best player, he happened to man the most important position, especially in times of peril, which is now.
Moving along, Corbin, somewhat begrudgingly agrees to step in with a bucket and starts to bail water out of the Titanic. Meanwhile, the Jazz are in a brutal stretch of games, where the teams they play at home are either really good or pretty good, and any road game is a crapshoot when your dealing with marshmellowy mental midgets. Also, Utah's second best player is struggling with the loss of his buddy while dealing with injuries, and finally Millsap takes time off. Miles, Watson, and Bell follow. Utah's reigning Lord of the money plays like a man freed from Alcatraz for about a game and a half, sprains an ankle and decides the season's over and needs to get a head start on his novel collection. Basically, 3 of Utah's 4 best players right now are either rookies or new (Harris), another rookie that could be good, fouls about 2x per minute and his usefulness rivals Fesenko whose usefulness is currently nonfunctional. At this level (NBA), success is mostly mental. If you lost your dad, and your wife took off to be with someone else, but left you the kids and threw in a couple adopted ones too, you might struggle a bit. But go ahead and blame it on Corbin.
I was reading the recap after the Jazz played the Bulls. https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap;_ylt=AiphKP_q0YEngJGy6X4An5q8vLYF?gid=2011031204 (It's about half way down)
Someone asked Ty if the players had given up. He said “I’m certain they haven’t quit,” coach Tyrone Corbin said. “We have some chemistry issues.”
So the Jazz are having Chemistry issues. I don't think Jerry would have ever told the world that his team was having chemistry issues. I think Ty throwing it out there isn't the worst thing he could do, but probably not the best either.
I suspect people are going to be trying to figure out who the chemistry issues are now.
I would bet this summer, or after the CBA, some of the chemistry issues will go away as well.
