Rookie Coach vs. Rookie Coach: How did they stack up?

Still very high on Quinn but his end of game plays haven't impressed me.

Are we ever successful when Hayward lets the clock run down to 7 seconds and then tries to go 1-on-1?

As for not helping on star players, perhaps Quin is either a) teaching the team to walk before they can run by just concentrating right now on basic defense and switching or b) following that old philosophy that star players will always get their points, but don't let the other players beat you.

I though Hayward actually played very good defense on 'Melo. He made some great shots, though.
 
Utah has been in all these games on the road. This is a fundamentally different team than last year. And it's due to coaching. Corbin was terrible. But he got us Exum.

Last year under Corbin it wasn't until December 2nd when we had our 4th win.



Yeah, nah, Snyder just isn't a very good coach.

I honestly can't think of anything else he got us that was good, LOL ...

I wonder what Snyder could have done with Lucas, Tinsley and Garrett as the PG's. A big part of the improvement is due to personnel, including having better players and having existing ones step up from last season (Hayward & Favors especially).

But yes, I do like the improvements Quin has made to the offensive system.

Quin's record:

1. Lets Carmelo brutalize Hayward all night long. Why no switches? No wonder the Jazz have the worst defense in the league.

That's actually not true. At different times Carmelo was guarded by Hayward, Booker, Ingles and Burks.

2. Cannot draw up an inbound play to get the ball to anyone besides the worst free throw shooter on the floor.

3. Cannot draw up a play to get off a decent shot with a full 2.3 seconds. Jazz get lucky with a wild shot.

Getting inbound pass to a capable shooter is not always as easy as it seems, especially when the opponent sags off of the one that they want to get the ball in order to help covering the other 4. In general you get a situation where 5 defenders try to deny a pass to 3 players and are perfectly happy with giving the 4th one the opportunity to get the ball and foul him. Also, you have no idea what kind of play he draws and if the problem is with the plays themselves(problem with the coach) or with the execution of the plays(problem with the players)... or simply because of great defensive effort by the opponent.

Also... wow! Decent shot with 2.3 seconds? Pretty much what you rely on in 2.3 seconds is that the opponent will screw up a defensive assignment or a switch. If that doesn't happen you are not getting an open shot. EVER!!! Any shot that you get facing the rim is a decent shot with 2.3 seconds remaining.

4. Continues to play Chucker A. Biles over Dante Exum, the number 1 rookie of the year according to ESPN.

Chucker won us the game and have been playing relatively well in the last couple of games. Exum has been struggling on the road and is not ready to start. He gets abused every game on screens and has not been great initiating the offense. He's been deferring a lot, he's been giving up his dribble a lot. People around know that I am probably one of Dante's greatest fans, but he still looks like a kid among men in huge portions of the games. Until his body catches up with his skill and talent, I would have no problem with Dante coming off the bench as a sub.

What I haven't liked from Quin is him taking out players with 2 fouls in the second quarter - this one I definitely think is a mistake that has already possibly cost us one or two wins.
 
Quinn is great but he's still figuring some things out. With most one on one guys it is sometimes better to let them go one on one and have everyone else watch... Sloan used it and guys would have big nights in losses.

Carmelo though... Dude doesn't pass... Thought we should have mixed in a double team here and there, but it's tough to argue with results.

If you can't see the progress under Quinn's leadership then you are blind.

In Melo's defense, his teammates are awful.
