Jazz hire New Assistant Coach

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Probably not due to the types of injuries that were suffered...

It's strange that you would recognize the validity of the comment above enough to make it, but still choose to make your post.

During the season you're more recovering. I don't count the months prior to him being drafted as the jazz weren't involved with his development.


Looking forward he's hitting the gym hard and that's a good sign.

You exclude 9 months because what?

Ummmmm.

Carroll came down weird and bruised his knee.

Korver had Dellavedova land on his leg scrambling for a loose ball.

Horford got scrapped up with Delly when he went low around his knees.

Trying to figure out how any of these are training injuries. The fact that they were fairly healthy through the rest of the season (despite Al Horford's injury history) is a testament to his ability. Not an indictment.

And according to Sportando Igor Kokoskov will join the Jazz coaching staff as well:

Igor Kokoskov turned down the proposal of Panathinaikos for their head coaching vacancy, according to SDNA.
The coach may remain in the NBA and join Quin Snyder’s coaching staff with the Utah Jazz.

He was Quin's assistant for a couple of years in Missouri, he's held assistant jobs in several NBA teams, last season he was with the Magic. Seems like Quin is gathering a team he's familiar with to be his assistant coaches...

You think strength is not important? This is prof sports. I am a strength trainer, what dumb of a title. I tell you this is more important than practice free throws. You see out of shape Dante is? If I know anything of J.W. He will not put up with Dante's lack conditioning. I mean like does he even try?

lol I am a professional strength and conditioning coach for athletes. I dont think strength coaches should be hired as assistant coaches though. But hopefully he is going to replace the old coach who looks like he should retire soon and practices old techniques.

Just an observation. Injuries kill. I understand the nature of the injuries because I watched all of them live. Still... something to watch. Stretching the right way can help you avoid many of these types of injuries IN SPITE of their nature.

This is almost too much to comment on. Your first post you said the trainer can blow up your team. The athletic trainer is a very different person from the strength and conditioning coach. Stretching... thats your solution. Wish everyone knew that we would never have injuries again... Maybe they should have hired you.

Wow.

My observation is that unless you can point to a reason that these injuries may have been his fault then you shouldn't throw out unsubstantiated suggestions that they might be. Do you honestly believe that the Jazz hired this guy without any due diligence? It seems to be easy for some people to forget that they are talking about real people and their careers. I have every reason to believe that this new hire is a pro at his profession. How would you feel if he was maligning your reputation by assigning blame to you for things that were not your fault?
