I really like Ty Corbin

Except for Bell, I love what he's doing with minutes right now. If guys or units are effective, they play. Basketball 101.

I'm very happy with Ty's approach so far.

I'm really interested to see what he does to the offense with a training camp and a preseason.

I was just coming here to comment on this, actually. Ty STILL hasn't had a real training camp or pre-season.

My crystal ball says the Jazz are in a great position.
 
I'm not going to make any judgement calls just yet about Ty, not until he has been coach for two full seasons or so.

However, I was amazed beyond belief at the defense that was played last night. I haven't seen defense like that from the Jazz for a long long time. If this continues, our only lottery pick this year will come from the Warriors.

Wouldn't it be funny if 'Ty the turd' became 'Ty the Hall of Fame turd'? I just hope he doesn't get coach of the year, that'd probably jinx him.
 
Count me in as one of the Jazz fans that are amazed at the defense that we're starting to see from Corbin and his team. I have NEVER seen the Jazz perform defensive rotations as good as they did last night agains the Griz. There was a point in time in the 2nd half where my jaw was almost literally on the floor as I watched each player perform their rotation PERFECTLY which resulted in a Griz turnover because nobody was open. I loved Sloan, but during his entire career the Jazz were subject to getting burned by the 3-ball due to his rotation techniques. It's nice to see that not be the case anymore.

As I watch this team, I can't help but marvel at the potential they have not just as individual players, but how they could eventually come together as a cohesive unit where you see each piece compliment the other perfectly. There's still a few pieces that need to be added (a PG who fits the system better) and some others that need to be dropped (Raja), but IMO those things will come in time.

Props to KOC for getting those pieces into place and props to Corbin for not being afraid to give minutes to the guys who deserve them regardless of age/experience. This team is getting fun to watch again and it should only get better from here.

And realistically with our schedule so far he hasn't had many practices either. Really decent job with the very limited time he is getting with the team.

Obviously we still have lots of room to improve and gain consistency, but I agree with this. That was one of the best defensive efforts I have seen in recent years from a Jazz team. They had their hands on everything, very active, rotated well, followed up shots. We still lack in man-to-man defense in lots of ways, but our team defense is getting the job done and making up for individual mistakes. They reminded me of the Stockton and Malone teams how active we were on defense and forcing turnovers. It was fun to watch on my wife's Galaxy S II Skyrocket in Ijji Sushi. Oh yeah, it gets no better than that.
 
Perhaps Sidney Lowe has been a big help as well? I'm not sure how you really quantify that outside of being a member of the team and knowing his contributions specifically, but he just might deserve some credit too.
 
My one complaint left about Ty Corbin is his starting lineup.

Yeah, I get it, he wants the first and second teams to gel-- but the second team is solid, while the starting lineup is still gooey. It seems like every game doesn't actually start until our second unit enters the game. Our starting lineup did well this last game, but still. We need some energy in the first lineup.

The starters are the people who set the tone for the game. If our tone is set as 'low energy and slow' every game, we're going to lose more often than we win.

I love that he plays players who earn minutes, but I give him 2 more weeks before I start really complaining about Raja starting.

I really don't understand the complaints with the starting lineup. Last year we were getting blasted in the first quarter fairly often, sometimes by 20 points.

Even in the games we've been blown out in this year, our first quarters have been competetive. I'm not sure what people expect here.
 
The thing I am liking more and more as time goes on - you do stupid ****, you sit on the bench. CJ Miles likes to do stupid ****, so guess what?

9:21 playing time.
4:19 playing time.

The guy sees beyond "playing hard" or "being tough". It's about making good decisions and he rewards players that like to play, play smart and play hard. Not to mention he has an updated view on the game of basketball, a realistic view about who deserves time, no ego, no ********.

Love it. Love this team right now.
