Doug Robisnon Column in the Deseret News

My favorite part of the whole BYU article.

Exchanging Karl Malone for Mrs Robinson in the song lyrics.

Epic

Holy Crap. That man is an idiot.

First off, remember what the Deseret News is: Panders to the BYU crowd, who honestly believe they are going to win a national championship in football, have a heisman player, and go to the sweet 16 in basketball every year. OK. Now that you remember that, realize that NONE of those people are grounded in reality. NONE.

Ok, now, let's look at what was said:



I bet his young editor from BYU making $8/hr told him to use the word epic. He is so trendy.



Wow, this is news to me! They fired a coach? Who? It wasn't Sloan, he quit. It wasn't Layden, he moved to another job. It wasn't Corbin, his contract ended. Who did they fire? Was there some other coach out there?

Moron.



Yeah, they are starting over again, after the Stockton/Malone days and after the Deron days. Here is a quick question, how many NBA teams have been as successful as the Jazz when it comes to full blown rebuilds? I can only think of one: Orlando Magic. They have had two complete rebuilds since the Stock/Malone days, and both those ended up in THE NBA FINALS. And both of those involved tanking years.

Moron.



Oh gawd. Give me a break. Like I said, typical zoob. He would rather be fighting for the playoffs (or in BYU football's sphere, playing a ridiculously easy schedule and being ranked 23, going 10-2 with your only losses being against the only good teams you played, but the good news is, in BYU fan's eyes, if we could play them now, we would beat them!) than fighting for championships.

So uniformed. So typical Utah County. So ridiculous.

Let's look at the Hawks record, shall we? The Hawks went 38-44. And he is impressed? The Bobcats went 43-39. Hey, they were .500, right? That's something. And Big Al sent cans of paint to reporters. Look at what Utah is missing out on!

Look at what else we are missing out on: All those Jazz players that left, and are leading their teams to great things? What did they just accomplish? They were both BLOWN OUT by the Pacers and Heat.

Impressive.

Moron.

Like I said, look at the source. The readers of the Des News want to hear how BYU will compete for a title, how they won the good ol' spring championship, their boys are overcoming sin and crying with inmantes, and how the Jazz will dominate.

They have no perspective, no reality, and this guy is just feeding them what they want to hear.

These are the people that thought we would contend for the playoffs this year, because, Favors is awesome and Hayward is the next Larry Bird

*snicker*

At least they will be able to drown their sorrows in BYU's pathetic football schedule, they will get their 11 wins (with their only loss being against the only BCS team with a winning record), and feel good about themselves once again.

The real inaccuracy is his claim that the Jazz fired Ty. He wasn't fired. They didn't extend his contract. Just like when the Jazz let AJ and Millsap's deal expire. They were cut they just weren't given another contract.

The point is, we didn't get anything for him. We just let him walk for nothing!

I agree that the article was quite stupid.

What the heck? Where did THAT all come from? Please don't use a stupid article about the Jazz as an excuse to slam all BYU fans.
 
It's all part of the "poor Ty got a bum rap after being dealt a hand that had no chance of winning" theme being spouted by virtually all of the local and national sports media. They are making excuses for the "nice guy" that couldn't coach.

Personally, I believe anyone who thinks Ty was dealt a losing hand -- for 3 years running! -- doesn't understand that winners make the most of whatever hand they are dealt. I cannot remember a single time, during his three years as head coach, that Ty ever make a half-time adjustment to the lineup that wasn't driven by fouls or injury. Is there another coach in the NBA for which that could be said?
 
What a refreshing take.

Most of you missed this key point:

The Jazz have been building to add one draft piece and PRAY he's the third part of a trio of youngsters. As it now stands, the Jazz are praying the draft brings them their very first one of three needed studs to buy them time, drifting around in the breeze, while devising a new plan. "Core 4" failed with little in the way of a backup plan.
