Players are a reflection of their head coach

[fishonjazz]

I think the greatest complaint about Corbin is his rotations. Everyone knew that we were going to have a poor record this season because this is year one of a rebuild project. You claim that Corbin is being judged unfairly because he was given a tough hand to play. I disagree. He was a handed a great cast of players for a rebuild project. Our core 4/5 is an amazing starting place for any rebuilding process. Wins were and are not the par that he's being judged on. Its the development of the previously stated core. Playing two veterans who have no impact on the future of this team more than our rare young blue chip talent is silly.

Corbin is trying to build his resume instead of focusing on the teams direct goals. Which is the coaching staffs job: build a winning team, not hold the team back for his own gain.

Other teams around the league are salivating at the mouth over players like Kanter and Burks while we insult and inhibit their growth and confidence by playing washed up vets who have a good attitude.

Corbin was handed a rare opportunity with this team and he's fallen very short of the goals set before him. He may be a great man and even a decent coach on a more experienced team, but he's terrible at developing younger talent and that is a unforgivable sin on this team at this point of our development.

Great post. Repped.

I agree with all of it with an exception to the part about other teams salivation over burks and kanter. Everything else is spot on.

Thanks for taking the time to read through this thread, however that post was from over 2yrs ago.

I also posted in one of the many thousands of Corbin threads that the coach following a HoF coach almost never succeeds and so anybody who said he was going to fail was statistically going to be right (even if their reasoning wasn't).

When he was hired I assumed he was destined to fail but was willing to let him learn and take his lumps as that is exactly what the Jazz team as a whole were doing and now that we are getting to the point where the team should be ready to take the next step if Corbin wasn't ready to take that step then so be it. Thanks for being the stop gap and everybody's whipping boy while keeping the locker room together and being an all around nice guy.
