What's new

This season will vindicate Ty Corbin

I created this thread prior to the season as a prediction. I don't bump it to rub it in your face how wrong you were. That would be as lame as you crying that I made a prediction.
Still doesn't get it. Or is intentionally not getting it. I'm going with intentionally not getting it. He's definitely good at trolling.
 
That's the expectation the board has placed on a good coach. It's not my measuring stick.

There's too much to go into it for an up or down #, but somewhere in the low 30's will be par. I'd take out the first 15 games last season to set the baseline at 29.4 wins. Add about 3 based on building a team to succeed instead of for intentional failure (playing 4 on 5 lost a lot of games so this could arguably be more than +3). Add a couple more for internal growth. About 35 wins should be what an average coach can win.


If Corbin sucked as bad as this place claims then that should get bumped up by at least 5 more. I doubt the angry railbirds are either a) going to say that's their expectation or b) acknowledge how childish and stupid these tirades have been despite refusing to acknowledge a).


I won't judge the guy based off wins and loses this season, though 40 wins would more than win my love.


Prophet franklin failed to consider that Quin would be installing a new system, so this win total is being upped to 37. Corbin's baseline would have stayed at 35...

Where are all the naysayers who said this 35 win baseline was ********? And where, specifically, is Bordy to bow before his prophet after harassing him endlessly after his prophecy last year that this team plus off season additions could easily be a 50-50 club this season?


Pray before me and I might exorcise Trey Burke of his demons, and possibly heal Burks shoulder and Wes Matthews achilles too (after he signs on the low low, of course).
 
Still trolling Frank.

Quin >>>>>Ty.

Don't think Ty will ever be a head coach inthe NBA again, but Quin would be highly in demand if he weren't under contract. The plain and simple fact is that the team regressed under Ty's leadership and has excelled under Quin's. It's time to let it go.

First step is admitting you were wrong. I promise, it's not that hard. As my wife tells me all the time.
 
But Frank is right in some awkward way. People thought that this was a 50% winning team, totally misused by Corbin. Their was always this Hornacek comparison, how he made PHX a great team, just in one season. Quin is a good coach, but he is no Jeff Hornacek.

I never liked Corbins coaching, but I always will miss Tyrone Corbin and his big body staying on the sideline like a real man. He wanted to win, but he also wanted to look good. And he always looked good...

Oh he did look good. Give credit where it's due.

He's just a terrible NBA head coach. DL will never admit it, but that tank season came about because he read Corbin, knew he'd play the vets at the expense of developing the young guys and just let him go right ahead and do it.

Glad the Jazz actually play defense now and have an interesting and improved offensive system. No one guy has to be "the guy" anymore. I like it so much better.
 
knew he'd play the vets at the expense of developing the young guys...
Except this didn't actually happen...The young players got big minutes and big roles last season. Such a tired false narrative. Focusing on X's and O's would make for a stronger argument. Unfortunately, few have the requisite understanding of the game (myself included) to make that argument (Franklin's actually one of the exceptions).

FWIW, while I'm not the least bit upset Ty's gone, and have been more than pleased with the growth of the team under Snyder, I think Ty was put in no-win situations every season in Utah:

2010/11: Deron, Sloan and Phil Johnson all leave. Ty tries to pick up the pieces.
2011/12: Lockout season, little communication with players, no real training camp. Team makes the playoffs.
2012/13: Lame-duck team, with leading vets likely on the way out, and young players waiting for their chance. FO decides not to make moves to usher in the youth movement. Vets (Sap, AJ, DMC) allowed to walk in free agency.
2013/14: Lame-duck season for Ty. No one expecting him to be re-signed, given task to make strides defensively with a team filled with young players who hadn't ever been handed lead roles prior to the season.

And Yet Jefferson was still playing more minutes than deserved despite being terrible and announcing he was on the way out. Ty was supposed to see what we had in the young guys and develop a defensive system. He didn't do either of these things. Quin in half a season has done more (with less mind you) than Ty did in 4 seasons towards developing that defensive identity. All while also putting in an offense that actually passes the eye test of NBA quality.

Granted, he inherited a difficult situation, but he was over his head. He was horrible with match-ups, didn't call timeouts at the right time, didn't inspire confidence in the players because he was so unsure of what to do (his play calling was evidence of this), didn't reward players who played well, and did lock down young players on the bench at the expense of vets -- remember all the DNPs Burks got at the beginning of his second year after he had played so well in the Summer League. I could go on and on -- the guy was a horrendous head coach. His tenure with the Jazz and his brief one in Sacramento are evidence of this. Hey, I wish I could be lousy at something and make millions of dollars. No one should feel sorry for Ty. He's got a nice bankroll to keep him in style.
