Zach Lowe: “I saw Ty Corbin today, by the way, it was an unpleseant interaction at their shootaround in Brooklyn.”
Bill Simmons: “Oh no is it my fault?”
Zach Lowe: “No for once it was not your fault. Here’s what happened with Ty Corbin. I asked him…I said I watched your team the other night in Houston. It seemed like you know – I asked him a question about their pick-and-roll defense basically it seemed like Derrick Favors and Kanter were coming out pretty far on pick-and-rolls, and is that their strategy every night, are they going to change it by opponent, and he looked at me and is like ‘What you ask me to tell you our scouting report? What – like what are you crazy?’
And I said ‘Well some coaches are willing to talk X’s and O’s with me’ and then he just said ‘Well why don’t you talk to those other coaches then don’t talk to me.’
I said ‘Okay, see you later coach!’”
Bill Simmons: “Wow, Ty Corbin…”
Zach Lowe: “It did not go well for me and Ty Corbin today – it was basically-it did not go well.”
Isn't it strange how angry and defensive Corbin gets whenever anybody asks him a harder question than a typical generic/vague one that can't be answered with "We just need to continue to work hard/improve/get better"?
It's not like PnR defense is a highly complex top secret concept.
