Sad to say, but I can understand how you would think thus. Does seem like they threw him under the bus to a degree, but at the same time I really think they were doing the best thing for the franchise when they let go of SAp and Jefferson.

I didn't think it made sense when they handed the reins to Ty to begin with instead of making him an interim coach but that was not his fault. And I do think it is time to move on. However, anyone who thinks Ty got a good opportunity here is kidding themselves. He was put in a very difficult situation each year for different reasons and he is a much better coach than most on this site gave him credit for. Good luck to Ty and his family and thanks for the dedicated effort he put in while a Jazzman.
And just like this board spewed venom at Sloan and then Ty, they will the spew at the next guy - possibly after a short honeymoon period. There are very few NBA team sites that don't skewer the coach on an ongoing basis. Such is life in the spotlight loaded with back seat drivers.

I only spewed venom when he did something dumb, which seemed to happen continually. I have nothing against the guy. He just made too many poor decisions. People are saying he had a lot of class; well, he did not go out with class. Everyone knew the Jazz needed to lose that last game to clinch the fourth spot in the lottery. So, what does he do -- after the bench guys are in the process of losing the lead and the game to Minny in the 4th quarter, he puts the starters back in again. All he had to do was play out the string and let the benchwarmers finish and lose the game. No one would lose any respect and the Jazz would've secured their draft position, like so many other teams have done in the past. But no, he has to go out and try to win a game, that wasn't meaningless, that if they won, was not in the best interests of the Jazz. That was either another dumb decision by Corbin or a classless, vindictive move by a coach who knew he was on his way out.
Solid contribution, per usual.
This is the sentiment shared by the majority of fans outside a few niche hater sites.

You truly ARE delusional.
I guess we all is just haterz on this site (outside of you, gomretat and a couple others).

Let's be honest Frank....
Ty wasn't DL's guy....
So once the reigns were handed to DL Ty was out the door, baring a Phoenix like season!!!
So Ty did get the raw end of the deal but he also could've left once KOC was no longer in charge and knew that DL was going to head in a Direction Ty wasn't a fit for!!!!

Okay. In your delusional universe this is probably not even true.
It's not letting him go that's the issue, it's the dirty way they've done it and treated him. They've sat silent all year and let Ty take the blame for everything instead of doing a little PR or letting him explain his decisions during press conferences like Sloan used to.
Ty has done everything asked of him by management, and he's been an exceptional developmental coach to the young guys (even that crybaby Enes Kanter). His thanks was a destroyed legacy, mostly by folks who frankly don't have the first clue about anything basketball (I'm looking at you SLC Dunk). When you have a group of people with nearly zero basketball knowledge who are ruining the legacy of your coach you have a responsibility to do a little more for the guy. Instead, they're happy to let him shoulder all the blame.
Such is the life of a very well paid, public figure.
