How many Jazz fans would want D'Antoni?

How to start a JF thread:

1. Find a player or coach who is maligned and likely to not be with their current team next season.
2. Post thread questioning if we would be open to bringing in said individual regardless of talent, philosophy or a shred of common sense.
3. Hijinks ensue.

True...So basically he's Ty Corbin (but WITH offensive teaching capability).

He doesn't teach offensive as much as he just tells everyone to shoot the ball.

He would never play Kanter/Favors together also. He hates traditional PF/C combos and would almost certainly continue to start and play Marvin a lot.

I don't like Dantoni because he has no flexibility as a coach. He can only coach personnel that fit his offensive philosophy, it's why he couldn't coach Howard/Gasol/Kobe.

George Karl would be the best offensive coach for our team because he is probably one of the most versatile coaches of all time. He can really bend his coach towards a roster's strengths.

Yeah, kind of like how Vogel got the Pacer's an 8th seed and now they are a treadmill team...... .wait, lol what?

The Pacers are the Jazz of the 90's. Will win a lot of games, go deep in the playoffs, might even make a Finals or two. BUT, every year, they will run into LeBron. And every year, they will lose.
 
not plausible

Looks like he could get canned in LA. He's never really had much of a chance with Dwight/Kobe egos, then a trainwreck of a roster this year.

I think our guys would flourish under him, plus he'd have a legitimate PG to work with and run the show.

I'd be happy if he were to be Corbin's replacement. What about you?

*Disclaimer*
Totally baseless speculation but that is what message boards are for

Easy answer: listen to DL's strategy (defense wins championships). Watch any game MD has coached (ever).

D'Antoni been given three HC jobs now with three elite teams.
He does not have much to show for it does he.
How many chances should he get to be an NBA head coach?

His first head coaching job was with the Nuggets. He got fired there too.

Fifth time is the charm, right?

In Phoenix the guy had three all-stars including the league's MVP still couldn't make it out of the conference in the playoffs. Did nothing in New York, nothing in LA.

Dude blows - I remember when he was in Phoenix Sloan used to coach circles around him.

League MVP was an average, castoff player before Dantoni.

D'Antoni coaching big men is like, I mean, prolly the best thing for a tank.

worst thing for favors/kanter, but seriously. The best ever. I mean that. His mustache alone.
 
He just has one game plan and it's not flexible at all. One PF who knows how to shoot, pass and has high basketball iq, a good rebounder, rim protector C, a PG who is master at PnR and shooters. So Marvin williams can be hero for him and Kanter might be bust. He's not a suitable for the youngsters either. No motivation, no speech and throw his players under the bus (Still feel sorry for the Gasol).
