Plenty to be disappointed in Corbin's coaching, but the losing overreaction isn't about any of his issues.
I call Trick and Log's criticism of Corbin "midget rigidity". No venue to discuss that.
This could be the worst Utah Jazz team we've ever seen.

How did I get sucked into this? I haven't posted anything about Corbin since the season started in fact. Frankly I think with this squad Corbin's inadequacies are moot. There is more than enough suckage to go around, and I am rooting for the first ever 0-82 season, just to get in the record books.
Something wrong with pointing out your top notch criticism as the standard-bearer?

I never considered myself the standard bearer of anything. If you choose to assert that, then fine I guess. But I have withheld commentary about Corbin so far this season as this squad is so rough that I have my doubts that any other coach would realistically do any better.
It's remarkable how stupid some of you are. The Jazz being the worst team in the NBA isn't a good thing - it just shows our core is overrated and that the team has nothing to put around whatever young stud they draft. They'll struggle for years, and even if they draft an eventual superstar it's guaranteed the guy will leave the Jazz the second he can. I see us having a few good years similar to the Hornets with Paul, and that team won one playoff series.
Did you remember how bad the Sonics were before moving to OKC? Then OKC needed to suck 1 more year to get Harden to complete their contending team.
That's where we are ATM IMO. It's part of the process - enjoy it while it lasts.
I hate it when people compare us to OKC. For every OKC there are a dozen Washington Wizards or Charlotte Bobcats who get in the lottery for multiple seasons and don't have every single one of their draft picks end up being superstars. And the Jazz haven't exactly shown a knack for drafting superstars - our core has four players drafted in the top 10 and I think it's safe to say at this point that not a one of them is superstar material.
Both Wizards and Bobcats have had very unstable ownership situation over the past 5 years or so. Also their FO has been very very questionable.
GSW showed us how to do "tanking" properly when they got Barnes, then shot straight to contention last year. May you can think of that instead if OKC is a dirty word in your vocab.
Utah's FO has been extremely questionable ever since Larry Miller died - they're just lucky enough to have a fanbase that's willing to make excuses for them over and over.
And drafting Barnes had little to do with GSW's launch into contender status. I can't believe I even have to point that out.

Is that team going to compete for a championship? What is it about Carroll that some people LOVE so much? The guy is a scrub. He plays hard, plays to the crowd and is a really great guy. But basketball-wise, he's a 9th/10th guy at best. Bledsoe...yes, I guess he may have been worth going after. I'll hold off on that for now, as we don't know how Burke is going to turn out. Obviously, Lindsey thought Trey was a better prospect. Please don't argue we could have traded for him last season. We couldn't. There were rumors, but then even stronger rumors that LA took him off the market because they were unsure about Paul re-signing.
Wow.. are you comparing our FO to the Bobcats and the Wizards right now? Jordan's willingness to spend has helped the Cats greatly since he has taken over eh?
I didn't say Barnes was the reason they shot into contention last year (reading comprehension). All I said was that's how you "tank" with injuries, subbing, etc, in order to add another piece of the puzzle to help your team win.
