You are Ty Corbin...What do you do different?
- Thread starter timmy
- Start date
I'm on board w/ this.

Without reading any other posts, here's my two and a half cents:
- Try out a different starting lineup (move Millsap to the bench; start Fesenko and/or start Hayward or Miles instead of Kirilenko).
- Try to implement some new offense.
- Work extra hard on defense and conditioning in practice.
- Don't be super-strict on the players (players will have their bad games and make mistakes but don't jump on them for it. Instead, be optimistic and encourage them to forget about the bad ones and focus on doing better next time out).
- Work the players' asses off.
- Tell the players to have fun. This game is supposed to be fun.
That about sums it up.

I don't think we will see much of a difference if any to start. For sure the same lineups and main substitutions for 10 games or so. I think he will then start to make a lot of substitution changes and 2nd unit lineups. i think he will play Jeremy more because hes worked with him so much and talks so highly of him, and I'm not just saying that because I want to see more Jeremy.
f anyone watches the summer league games you see how different and unconventional his lineups are, especially compared to Scotties. Scotty does the lineups you'd expect Jerry to do, and Tys are always dramatically different. Ty would also usually win his sumer league games when he was head coach and Scotty would lose his.
Don't expect much of a change in the philosophies or plays, Corbin played them, and has been a coach of Jerrys system. What else does he know to do?

Try to get Deron to like me? (kidding, kidding!)
Strategicaly, less UCLA sets, more side pick-and-roll and more direct cross-screen action and postups early in the shotclock.
Rotation-wise, more regular minutes for Fes off the bench, more Hayward, less Price.
Overall, I expect to see an immediate boost in the level of play during these last 3 games before the all-star break, and for atleast a week or so after. Team (esp Deron) will come out with alot of energy. Whether Utah can maintain that heading into the playoffs will come down to Ty Corbin.

1. Vary the starting lineup based on matchups. Faster lineups vs. faster opponents, bigger against bigger teams. I'll let Ty handle the details.
2. Don't be afraid to start Fes. He's totally unpredictable, but give him a chance; if his head isn't there that night, bench him for the rest of the game and use Elson/Jefferson at C the rest of the game. When he's 'on', he is a game changer, so play the man!!
3. More Hayward at SG. He defends there better than CJ, is bigger than Price which is needed vs. taller SG's. Hayward's lateral movement is better than I expected. Price would still be my #3 PG and SG, and does deserve some PT.
4. No more CJ at SG; his defense there is awful. He is better off splitting time with AK at SF.
5. More Jeremy Evans. The kid has shown he can make plays in his own high-energy way.
6. Base players' PT more on their DEFENSE, which I don't think Sloan did.

I doubt he changes our schemes a whole lot, at least this year. But I'll bet we start watching film as a regular part of the program. I'll bet he makes defense our biggest focus in those film sessions as part of giving this team an actual defensive identity. I'll bet part of that identity is to get OUT of the top 5 in fouls.
What I don't see is him changing the rotations a whole lot. I'll bet he wants to make some changes but he wants to bring them along respectfully. So the starting unit and bench unit stays for the next few weeks, but minutes start to change.
Finally, he'll pass the very important Raja Bell test when his minutes have been cut to 20 by the end of the season (but he smartly gives Bell extra run in the few games where we really need to check an opposing 2.)
