What Changes Do You Hope Ty Implements Next Year

[SojoDave]

I think a lot of people just assumed that Ty would be Jerry 2.0. I personally like Ty and I think he's smart and will improve. But, it's obvious that Ty has struggled with certain aspects of being a head coach. Here is my list of what I hope he improves on.

1. Clock Management: This has killed the post-Jerry team with countless shots being put up in the last few seconds of the shot clock. If I see CJ firing it up with two seconds on the clock, I won't be responsible for my actions.

2. Three Point Defense: The Jazz have traditionally pushed drivers to the middle to get help. The problem is that the defense collapses and three point shooters are just waiting to get a wide open three. It's time to face the facts that teams are actually TRYING TO SHOOT A THREE WITHIN THEIR OFFENSE.

3. Time Management: I know that Ty has been experimenting with lineups and putting players in various positions, but let's hope he finally stops this madness.

4. Integrate The Three: I remember Kyle Korver after a game sitting in the locker room. A reporter asked him if his three's were part of the offense. Kyle said we don't have one play that involves a three-point shot. We have to integrate the three as an important part of the offense in order to be competitive.

5. Pace of Play: The Jazz seem to play the pace of the team they are playing. They need to gain an identity and have teams adapt to them.

Sorry to ramble, but I think this will be one of the most interesting things to follow next year.

2. The jazz defense is putrid. It was bad even under Sloan. The defensive philosophy needs to be changed, like you said. Just copy whatever Thibideau is doing. Play great man-to-man d and if you one of your teammates gets beat by his man THEN you help.

The Jazz defense always sags in and there are like 3 opponents WIDE OPEN on the perimeter.

This is so bad I can't even think about anything else that might be a problem. All time, energy, resources must be directed to fixing this problem.

I've done what I can.

no practicing the offense this offseason.

ponly focus and practice on defense

No offense eh? They suck at everything the summer can't be long enough for them.

1. How is this Corbin's fault? I think this involves new players trying to adjust to a new team. Injuries have also contributed to this.

2. Totally agree. Overall defense needs to improve.

3. Experimenting with lineups and putting players in various positions is exactly what we should be doing at this point in the year. We need to evaluate what we have for next year.

4. We don't emphasize the 3 like New York, Orlando, Golden State, and Phoenix but its not like you can't shoot 3 within our offense. We don't really have a lot of 3 point shooters to begin with. We average 15 3's a game, which is a little less the the league average. I would like to see us get some better outside shooters before we just jack up 3's for the sake of have more 3 point attempts.

5. Agree ... especially the part of creating an identity.

One more thing to add. I am not saying that Corbin was the right choice as coach or that he is the long term answer as the coach of the Jazz. That being said, I believe he atleast deserves a full offseason, training camp, and full season before we judge him on coaching abilities. There aren't many coaches that would have been able to have much success if they inherited the mess Corbin has. Just my opinion.

Remember, take away that 27-13 start and Corbin's record wasn't much worse than Sloan's, with a team riddled by injuries and a couple of key players barely out of diapers. I'm glad the Jazz faded down the stretch. What the Jazz need are quality players. The draft is weak, but whoever we get at #12 (vs. losing the pick had we made the playoffs), whether KOC keeps the pick or trades for a veteran, is likely going to be a lot better than Elson, Price, Bell or Weaver.

We've seen Favors and Hayward start to develop. I think we've seen - barring any trades - what the starting lineup is going to be next season (Harris, Hayward, Favors, Jefferson and Millsap). Is that ideal? Probably not. Will the Jazz make the playoffs next season? Not likely. But add 3 more key players via drafts or trades to those 5, give the young guys another year to develop (particularly Favors and Hayward) and the Jazz have a chance to be pretty good in 2012. A complete rebuild in 2 years...that's not bad!

Defense Defense Defense.

We need to adjust to the 3 pt happy league.

Remember, take away that 27-13 start and Corbin's record wasn't much worse than Sloan's

so take away 40 games of an 82 game season? its not like it was a week's worth of good coaching, jer-bear made some good coaching decisions in a lot of those come-from-behind wins, mainly clock management and late game decisions, and he was a big factor in the early, albeit undeserved, successes. when other teams got their acts together, our guys decided to stop playing defense, and jerry bailed, it showed our true colors. but i wouldnt discount what jerry pulled together for the first half of the season.

Your best point! We really need to have a style of play that we come out and execute. On BOTH sides of the ball.

 

[Zerol]

The thing is we don't have Derrick Rose...

So you believe that Corbin should have come in midstream and fixed something that Jerry apparently couldn't handle? The fact that Jerry might have won them some games early in the season is great, but for some reason after 2011 began he couldn't do it anymore.

I haven't been impressed with Corbin's coaching so far. The team looks like they have no plan. But I believe now that Corbin has the job he deserves the opportunity to prove what he can do with an off-season to prepare. If next season begins in the same sort of disorganized fashion that this one is ending in I think the leash should be very short. It's one thing to lose. It's another to look clueless.

Defense is first. No more laminated 3X5 cards with the fundamentals printed on them. We need a scheme, and day in, day out plans to neutralize opposing offenses.

Offensively, there's a lot of things we could do, but the one change I would like to see is P&R with the wings. Both Al and Sap can shoot. Both Hayward and CJ can run the P&R with them. I see this is a second half of the shot clock wrinkle or something that could be used to exploit matchups. We've actually done this a little bit, but it seems more spontaneous than something designed.

 

[JohnnyClutch]

I'd like him to pull the bus over to the side of the road, ask CJ to poke his head out the door with some trumped up request, his kick him in the arse and drive off as fast as he can.

 

[franklin]

Ty looks like a deer in the headlights, but will get back on that horse. He's hoping rookies are diamonds in the rough. He needs to get his ducks in a row and get over that hump. He'll go out on a limb, but the more things change the more they'll stay the same. It is what it is.

 

[Lion's Roar]

Stop forcing to the middle on defense.

 

[kabenac]

Teaching the Jazz how to box out would be a good start...

 

[Hitman]

Winning, not losing.

(My instant reaction was "his seat", but figured I'd give him a chance to put his stamp on the team in the off-season).
