Tyrone Corbin is now the head coach of the Sacramento Kings

Best of luck, Mr. Corbin. When times get tough just remember:

"I never said it would be easy; I only said it would be worth it."

9-0 run by the opposition to start his career with the Kings. Of course, they're playing a healthy Thunder team so it's not that bad, I just thought it was funny.

Apparently Corbin's experience with the Jazz got him the Kings HC job..

Vivek: “We want to move being able to have players highlight their own skills and improvise. The leader needs to be more of a jazz director"

Cousins VS Ty will be fun...

Fixed.

I actually think Corbin's offense could be good with Cousins, the problem is that Vivek wants him to play fast, so I'm not sure how that is going to play out. If Corbin does anything positive in this situation it will be pretty impressive, nearly guaranteed to fail.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I hated Ty Corbin as the Jazz head coach, but genuinely like him as a person. I actually feel bad for him because he's being set up to fail - and fail badly. The Kings will be too good to tank once Cousins gets back, but no matter how poorly they do I don't think you can lay it at Corbin's feet. He got shoved into an impossible situation for a completely dysfunctional team.

They spread the floor and get wide open shots all game long. That's what happens.

And a ton of offensive boards. It's going to be so fun to watch the Kings crash. Hey, I wonder if I should contact Randive about the coaching position. He apparently thinks success with children's teams translates to the NBA. I've had some great teams. Coached one to the mythological league championship. And we were amazing defensively.

Yep. And apparently he was pretty loyal to Malone in terms of backing him up. Ty IS a good guy from everything we hear. And now we know why he could so easily step into the head assistant job (it was a shocker at the time). Kudos to those like Gentry who interviewed with the owner and/or GM and were creeped out by the situation. It was pretty clear what he was doing.

Maybe Ranadive should just turn over the coaching duties and substitutions to a call center in India.

lol what a train wreck this is becoming.

Reports coming in that that vivek had a meeting with Mark Jackson...

Yeah. . . that's going to work well. A guy who can't get along with management coaching for a guy who has meddled more with his basketball operations more in the last year than some do over the whole course of their ownership.

What could possibly go wrong?

Latest report is that the owner either likes Ty, wants Quin, or is going to higher his daughters band teacher.

Vivek Ranadive is grateful for the discipline and order that Mike Malone restored in the Kings. But he wants Sacramento's next head coach to be an offensive-minded "jazz director."
