This.

Ill be very disapointed if any of these people get hired as our head coach. JVG is the most boring coach I could think of. He runs the slowest offense that is terrible. SVG is just a side show attraction not a head coach. There is a reason no team seriously wants them anymore. Stockton was a great player. He has no coaching experience and does not seem to have a personality for it. He did not even call plays when he was on the court, he looked to Sloan for that. On top of that he seems like someone that will be a players coach and I think after TY I would prefer to go the other way.

I've watched great amount of Stockton games and videos and I can say that's one of the least correct propositions I've ever heard in my life.

Stockton has no coaching history. We cannot gamble with this pick. It is crucial to get it right. That excludes Stockton.
 
To be a good coach you need to have street smarts and be pretty savvy. If you look at all the good coaches now from Phil Jackson to Pop to Doc, they are pretty savvy.



Nothing against Stockton but he's just a bit too 'honest' and 'true' to me. Hornacek at least seems to have some savviness to him.
 
Stockton never liked to give interviews, he did very little community service,
he was not a big talker, he always did very little for the Jazz.
He did nothing a good coach should.
Maybe only exception Belechick.

Re: Stockton situation


Bad. Bad. Bad.


Hornacek did it the right way. He transitioned from a shooting coach, to the assistant coach, to the HC. Stockton coming in from the cold to lead this team is gonna be VERY VERY tough. Unless he has a group of very good and supportive assistants supporting him.

So Stockton criticizes the way Ty was treated and then accepts the head coaching job for the Jazz. I just don't see that happening.
 
Just because you are a great player doesn't make you a great coach. Magic failed miserably as the Laker coach. Beside the fact that John has zero coaching experience so I think he should be an assistant first before a HC.
 
Blatt just won the Euroleuge 'elite 8' series (an upset vs _Milan. Best out of five. 3-1) and moved on to the final four. With an avarage team he has it is huge achivemant.

I have also watched a lot and my statement is according to what was said by Sloan when comparing Stockton to DWill.

My statement is according to my own eyes and observation and I have no doubt about it. I won't comment about Sloan's words though since I don't know what exactly he said but chances are he was talking in a comparing sense since a PG, especially one that is arguably one of the top 3 of the game history, that doesn't call plays is a ridiculous thing even to imagine.

Well, try harder then.
But there's something beyond mere longevity separating the two, and that's this: Williams loves to shout out plays on his own accord, and Sloan readily permits it; Stockton, even late in his career, didn't do that much at all, typically preferring to look back at his coach for the call.

The absolute respect Jerry Sloan and John Stockton had for each other. Stockton was an extension of Sloan on the court, with the latter calling most of the plays. John never quibbled–he did what was asked and excelled. The mutual love they had for each other was evident on the night the franchise honored him after his retirement, when Sloan teared up, saying “We thought you’d play forever, John.”

Quin Synder lead Missouri to four straight NCAA Tournament's and made the Elite 8 as well the farthest a Missouri team has ever gone. Won Rookie Coach of the Year by Basketball Times his first year at Missouri.

Was also the head coach for the NBADL Austin Torros. With them he made the D-Leage finals once, the semi-finals twice, won Coach of the Year as well. Has the most wins for a D-League coach ever in a 3-year span.

Was an assistant for Duke, the Clippers, 76ers, Lakers, Hawks, and CSKA Moscow.

Not a bad resume.. I wouldn't mind him. Anyone out of Longabardi, Messina, and Synder I would be fine with, tbh.

This just in, anyone who might be capable of coaching at the NBA level is a candidate for the job currently.
