It's either someone else that he wants to poach from the Warriors (i.e. Mike Malone, Pete D'Allessandro, Chris Mullin), or he just wants a ****ing puppet. The dude is a maniac.

Here's another interesting article with new insight into some of the ridiculous ideas of Vivek(pushing Royce White into the team, attempts to acquire Josh Smith despite Malone disagreement, etc.) and how Malone's refusal to play along cost him his job:

WOW!

WOW!
Why not hire Malone as Quin's assistant and try to make a play for Cousins? He's used to playing in smaller market now so Utah shouldn't bother him.

So it is leaking now that Corbin is expected to use the 4 on 5 defensive strategy that the owner wants to use because it worked for his child's ball team.
I applaud the move, the nba has become so boring with the spurs, 28 clones, and the Knicks. To heck with advanced metrics, make basketball fun again.
In fact, I want the jazz to try this. This roster is built for 4 on 5. Start favors, Gobert, Evans, Hayward and Burks. Alec is usually just standing around watching his team play defense, so move him into the backcourt as the designated cherry picker. His speed and athleticism will shine there and he can make free throws when the other team hacks him to death from behind.
The jazz four defenders will make it hard for anyone to score against their length and athleticism. Fun to watch it even for a few games.

This will go the way of the Wild Cat offense in the NFL, only with a shelf live about 100X shorter. It may make for some interesting highlights for a about a month or two but NBA teams will adapt and crush this within a season.

Leaving my sarcasm behind, this would be interesting to watch in the short run, like all gimmicks. I think it would work against bad teams, and there are a lot of bad teams in the nba right now. Good teams like spurs, clippers, warriors, grizzlies would kill the defense.
I would like to see the coaches counters. Do they crash the boards with 5 every time? Does the player at top run back as soon as a shot is up? The NBA has become so monoculture that it is boring, a little risk, innovation and product innovation can spice things up.
