Report: Jazz to let Jefferson Walk. Milsap & Watson got into it with Ty Corbin last season
- Thread starter mellow
- Start date
Tears of joy comes to my eyes knowing we will not have Watson next year.

I still like Watson. His time as a rotation player has passed but he had good heart and energy. He fought for his team mates. I'd like to see him get into coaching and stick around the league.
Not to dispute your take, because I don't have any idea what happened, but I'm not going to just assume this had anything to do with Burks. Watson considered himself to be the primary backup PG and may have had an issue with Corbin about consistent playing time. Also, if it did happen (and it's a big if) we don't know if it was a one time thing in the heat of the moment, or if it was ongoing.
Marc Stein: Been hearing this one more and more lately: Rising sense out there that Jazz might simply let big man Al Jefferson walk in free agency
Makes me think more and more the plan is to get loaded this draft, let our young guys lead in 2013-14 and draft in 2014 and try to go deep into the playoffs.

Not going to respond to your post as it's an obvious trap.Here's a few links.....
Good. Most of us want this. Big Al couldn't even get us to the playoffs with Favors, and Kanter.
He is a failure. Always has been, always will be.

when will management look inward???
I know that Affirmative Action is mandatory and everything but...
How many more "fights" does Ty Corbin need to get into before management finally realizes that this guy doesn't know how to coach?
No one respects him.
No one likes him.
It's pretty obvious that despite being a "players coach" he doesn't have good relations with his own players.
I get that a lot of "players coaches" are easy going guys. But I think in Ty Corbin's case, he has gone too far. The players want a strong leader, not a ***** boy cheerleader. I think some of the vets have recognized this... In fact, most of them do. I remember how often the vets just ignored Ty during timeouts.
My fear is that this has been figured out by the young players. Hopefully the young players don't realize that giving less than their best is acceptable for this coach who's just "happy to be in the league."
We desperately need a coach who will crack the whip. We need some discipline, leadership, and "tough love" to get these guys back into shape.
Ask yourselves, if John and Karl were on this team, think they'd respect Ty Corbin? Or would they walk all over him? What about Deron?
I think we all know the answers to these questions...

HR manager at my previous job was like Corbin. His job was to piss off the employees the company wanted to let go, with the intent of having them quit vs. the company doing layoffs. Corbin is doing a helluva job in this respect. Jazz would be in an awkward position with some fans if they had Jefferson, Millsap, Foye, Mo, etc. talking about how badly they wanted to return to the team. Now, when they sign elsewhere, Lindsey and KOC can trot out that time-worn line about how the team wanted them back, but the players tested the market and got offers the Jazz thought were too high.
In the end this will be his downfall. Players need someone that are masters of the game, and not their friends. They need to respect their coach,
not be buddies with him. Years later when he is replaced this is what will be said about why Corbin ultimately failed with us.
