This season will vindicate Ty Corbin

[freakazoid]

I will stand behind what i said

Right. You said that Jerry's coaching ability had no effect on the team. Does that count with winning, or is it only losing that isn't affected?

i don't have a whole lot of time to reply constantly over an arbitrary topic .

That's funny, cuz you've spent a whole lot of time in this thread arguing against something that nobody said.

I've always been and always will be in the Sloan camp..

I'm in the looking at all sides objectively camp, and I always will be.

Nobody questioned his ability. The team was over achieving, then the team sucked. Then Jerry quit. That's what we were saying. The team imploded and Jerry hitting played a part in that.

Thats basically what i was getting at too, with some homerism thrown in for good measure.

Utah Jazz: 29th in team defense; no improvement.
Sacramento Kings: 14th in team defense; 9 spot improvement.

I told you what would happen if you gave Corbin a competent group of players.

I'm completely on board with the idea that Corbin had little to work with last year, and therefore shouldn't be judged quite so harshly. However, even though I believe our record last year proves nothing about Ty, I see no reason to consider him anything more than mediocre. Maybe I missed something, as I didn't pay much attention to your ongoing riff with the Corbin haters. I'd be sincerely interested why you think he's a good coach, or what you are basing it on. I don't necessarily disagree, but I do think the jury is still out.

IF this has anything to do with Corbin...then what it does show is that he is right where he should be. Right where many of us said he is best.....as a good ASSISTANT coach.
A lot of people credited him for being a good assistant coach, but not having what it took (for now) to be a good head coach.

Can I wait until the end of the season before answering?

There were several things I thought he excelled at and other things that bugged me. The end result is what matters and us fans rarely if ever consider the O-D trade offs that go into every decision, so we bitch about this and that without considering all the behind-the-scenes data these guys pore through before making these decisions.

One thing I can say is Corbin was excellent 2 seasons ago at using the plays that were highest efficiency while also balancing the defense. People hated Alfense but it was the right choice with Frikkin Mo Williams as your chucker point guard, can't do anything but shoot the three Foye as your two, and no bench to speak of outside of Marvin Williams. I pulled some offensive stats off mysynergy toward the end of that season that showed everything fans were complaining about and wishing for was much worse than what we were getting.

Tonight's game vs. Memphis: Corbin's Sacramento Kings' started the game with a 42-16 lead in the first half, led by 11 with 5 minutes left, then choked it away at the buzzer to lose by one. Par for the course?

If you want to put the King's failure/success on Corbin, then there will be a lot of praise towards Corbin this year.

You think the kings are contenders?
