One measuring stick for Corbin was Rocky Mountain Revue games.
Remember him and Layden head coached every other game for 3 or 4 years.
Layden lost almost every game he coached.
Corbin won almost every game he coached.
Same players. Different results.
Also listen to Corbin talk basketball.
He knows what he's doing. He just got thrown into a meat grinder to start to head coaching career.
Next year should be very different.
Not saying he doesn't know basketball or that he wasn't a good coach.. I did give him a lot of credit in my opening thread..
It's all about who is most likely to succeed in pulling together a team of new players, a lot of them are rookies? If my life was to depend on it? I would choose someone who's a bit more experienced. Who's been there done that (or at least proved at the NBA or College level that he/she had some sort of success).
Signing Ty was definitely a brave move by Utah. It is possible that he will success and I for one would like to see him succeed. But odds are that it will take him a while to get all the experience he needs in this league to get to that level.
