So the fact that Corbin is american and just in right place and right time when he was handed the coaching position by the Jazz makes him better then Tanjevic who happens to live in Europe, won multiple titltles on multiple levels but never even applied for NBA coach job? So ridiculous it is not even worth arguining anymore. The mere lucky fact that Corbin ended up as coach of the Jazz does not make him good coach. He did not win anything prior to it with any team, no other NBA team was considering him for coaching position. At the end of the day I think he will end up like numeorus losing coaches in NBA - with losing record and out of the league.

Corbin was respected around the league as an assistant and did have a few interviews previously. From the DNews after Corbin took over from Sloan:

"Corbin has been a candidate to fill a handful of other head coaching vacancies the last few offseasons. He interviewed with the New Orleans Hornets last offseason before they hired Monty Williams. In past offseasons, he interviewed for vacancies in Chicago, Phoenix and Seattle before the franchise moved to Oklahoma City."

Part of the problem is that Corbin was the 2nd assistant. Jazz lost two coaches in Sloan and Johnson. And Corbin was left with Layden and Hornacek. That wasn't a very strong group. Bringing in Lowe may/may not have helped. Lowe certainly has a lot of coaching experience, but hasn't produced much in other places.

I think we have to just throw away last season in terms of Corbin's evaluation. There wasn't a real training camp; there were few days off (other than travel days). Ty made some defensive changes, but really had no time to impact the offensive system. Let's see what he does this year.

I'm not claiming he's the answer. In fact, one of the reasons for bringing in Lindsey may be to get rid of Ty at the end of the year. It's a perfect scenario as new GM's generally have the say in who they want to work with. KOC can simply say Steve is the new GM and the decision on retaining Ty or hiring a new coach is Lindsey's call.

Oh well he had few interviews...yet nobody offered him position. Had Sloan not resigned he most likely still would be just 3d string assistant. Hardly changes my mind.

Perhaps but what you ignore is that Tanjevic is still not qualified to offer ralistic criticism of Corbin. Regardless of merit Corbin is dealing with NBA talent and the NBA landscape. Tanjavic is not..

So his Turkey team who whon silver medal in FIFA 2010 world championship did not have any NBA talent? I thought Turkoglu, Ilyasova, Asik and Erden play in NBA???
By the way this all nonsense that NBA is so much superior then Euroleague is silly. NBA of course is best league in the world when it comes to talent but not by much. Every NBA team has great players but as well bunch of mediocre players who could not even make to Eurolague. And Euroleague is full of players who could be starters in NBA. Euroleague teams beating NBA teams in preseason ( CSKA once smoked Clippers so bad it was not even close ) is just another indication that even if NBA is still best league in the world gap is not as huge as some of you here suggest.

Yeah.... and one is washed up, the next is a role player on a crappy team, the next has an overinflated contract on another horrible team.
Oh yeah and Erden, well he's still on the Cavs I think :-)

Players from last season Euroleague who could be ( and some will be this season) starters in NBA: Shved, AK, Krstic, Teodosic, Navaro, Spanoulis, McCalebb, Diamantidis, David Andersen, M.Batiste, Freeland, Weems, Vujacic, Khryapa, Huertas, Rodriguez, Siskauskas, Borousis.
And just a few players from last years NBA who would not be starters in Euroleague. J.Brockman, B.Ahern, S.Alabi, B.Cardinal, J.Collins, G.Forbes, C.Higgins, J.Leuer, S.Williams, H.Whiteside, D. Mcguire, A.Gray, Juwan Howard and I could probably find about 20-30 more scrubs who would struggle to make living in Europe playing basketball.
Point is gap is not as big as some here imagine.

So you are suggesting we should bring over euro scrubs to replace American scrubs? Pass.

Thats not the point, don't be ridiculous. Dude said Corbin is working with NBA talent and Tanjevic not. I would argue that Ilyasova or Turkoglu is better talent then Evans, Caroll, Ahern or Bell... but whatever. This topic should die. After another year or so when Corbin is fired and gone from NBA we can revive it and see how lucky he is getting any Euro offers.

Hypothetical question... Do you think the NBA coaches(not only the best ones) would be successful with European Teams in European leagues?

If you think the answer to this question is yes, then you have really really no idea about European Basketball or the European coaches.

I'd bet on my life that half of the NBA coaches couldn't even crack the top three with a European team in the leagues like Spain, Lithuania, Turkey, Russsia etc. They could do maybe only with star-filled teams like Barca etc.

And the notion of "NBA coaches are better because they are in the best league" is one of the most ridiculous allegation I've ever heard in my life, so I don't even try to discuss against it.

Heck, I wasn't gonna post in this thread once again after I saw how people are actually biased, but I'm going with this mistake for the last time with this post.

Now I'm off to work, by your leave.

It's just the fact that his opinion is obviously bias out of the *******. He is still butt-hurt that Kanter went to UK instead of playing in Turkey, he is butt-hurt Turkey is sucking at basketball on the national stage, he is butt-hurt Kanter didn't want to play for his ****ty team.

Kanter is no wonder a talent and he would be more effective against Euro teams than running in NBA pace, but you should not say ****ty to a country's team even if they lack success last couple of years. Your # 3 pick was raised in the arms of that country and that coach everybody is sharpshooting in this thread. In Turkey, basketball talent grow really rapidly and has a bright future. That situation gives Turkish fans pride. When you say things like that, it's offensive against us too.
 
even you turks can't deny that the turkish national team has been a mess for several years. guys unhappy, guys quitting, guys fighting... maybe we should stop worrying about whose credentials are stronger until tanjevic has cleaned up his own house.

(oh and if you're interested in my vote... i actually enjoy european basketball, and even i think you're crazy if you think the talent gap isn't that big. ilyasova is better than ahearn?? no ****, sherlock, but you just compared one of the top players in the entire nation of turkiye to an average NBA team's 13th man. hard fail there.)
