Lindsey made a huge deal about Ty's ability to evaluate talent last year after the Trey draft. Lindsey said that Ty Corbin saw something he liked in Trey Burke when scouting him and so the jazz took action to move up based on Ty's assement.
At the time I thought Lindsey was trying to publicly distance himself from Trey by pegging it on Ty. Latter I considered that the jazz could be planning to move Ty Corbin into a role with scouting and player personal, a job held by Walt Perrin. The more I thought about it the more it makes sense. It is consistent with the character of the miller family to reward an employee who tried hard, and was loyal. Plus Ty by every account represents the miller family values.
My prediction: a new Jazz coach in June, but unless Ty chooses to go to Phoenix with Jeffery he will still be a jazz employee come October.
Why do I think this?
I believe the Jazz pride themselves on loyalty first and foremost. The Miller organization, since they've owned the team, haven't fired a coach... ever! As much as we love Jerry now, you can find posts on this forum that call for his firing plenty. I believe they will play the card that the team's long-term direction forced Corbin to have a less-than-ideal product to work with and that isn't his fault. They'll see slight improvements in some players and schemes that will validate their reasoning. I have no idea what those would be but I bet they find them.
I expect a two-year contract to be signed.
Just a hunch... I'm interested to see how it plays and, if it happens, the fan reaction.

They won't fire Corbin. His contract is expiring. They always extended Sloan so that he wouldn't coach as a lame duck, just like Corbin did this season. Corbin is a goner. Book it.
Come on you really don't know what the fan reaction will be if they re-sign Corbin? I guess you've missed all the fire corbin threads. The meltdown might cause the earth to open up and swallow the entire SL county or state .. country..earth.. universe. As a fan of the Jazz, I am ok either way, but the thought of the meltdown would be fun to watch.. yes I am a little evil.
At this point I have no idea about what the Jazz will actually do, I think he is gone simply because of the teams record after the all-star break. However, I wouldn't be shocked if they brought him back either due to the loyalty theme.
