NBA Player Defensive Ratings (PG and SG)

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I was a little livid with how they gave Corbin a multiple year contract without seeing what he could do. Can you imagine if we would have gotten Thibodeau? I hope Corbin brings in some new perspective, i.e., a new coach, for the defensive end. I've also thought about Matt Harpring as a defensive coach. At least he would bring a fearless attitude to the players and wouldn't pull punches with players who put forth horrendous defensive effort.

Could you imagine Thibodeau turning down a HC job with The Chicago Bulls for the Utah Jazz? You could, but no way in hell would it happen. I like the idea of giving an in-house guy a shot. Not just signing a big time coach who will leave in 3-5 years.

Great idea. Anything that gets him out from behind the mike.

Thibodeau went to coach the Bulls because they were the first team to give him an official offer as far as I know. He had been searching for a HC job for a couple of years before the Bulls made the best decision since Phil Jackson.

But there's no way the Jazz would've let Sloan go if he wasn't ready to. Absolutely no way, even if it's clear as crystal that they probably should've a while ago.
