What direction?

Not hire Carril, don't install elements of the princeton offense (didn't work as well in Washington w/out elite offensive talent), let Corbin develop his basketball identity and let him tweak/alter Jazzbasketball to his liking and to suit the team he has.

Yeah, in response to the refs obviously stealing game 6 from the Kings, Ralph Nader wrote a letter to David Stern. It was pretty awesome. But it might as well had been written by me - it had the same effect. Stern's an a-hole.

GlassEater - I don't remember the ABA or the Utah stars, so I guess you win.

Just something to represent rebuilding. KOC would be the one directing the project.

I was a little boy when the Stars were around, but had the advantage of a father who was a sportswriter at the time and took me to a lot of games (Stars, Salt Lake Angels (AAA baseball) and Golden Eagles (hockey)).

Favorite memory is of watching a kid just out of HS play for the Stars his rookie season (IINM, he was the first to skip college). My dad and I looked at each other and agreed he was going to develop into a very special player. And we were right...Moses Malone was a heck of a player! Broke my heart when the Stars folded up operations, but I followed Ron Boone and Moses into the NAB. Before that, it was strictly ABA for me.

Well, some parallels to my situation. I live in LA and one of my friends calls me the "anti-fan" becuase I root for anyone who is playing against the Lakers (well them and Miami this year). I'm old enough to remember the first Utah Jazz teams. I'm even old enough to remember the ABA and the Utah Stars!

You've got me beat by a few years, but I have to say the 1998 series against LA (beating them 4-0) remains one of my all-time favorite Jazz memories.

That was awesome. That was the year Kobe kept throwing up airballs, wasn't it? Oh how I wish he would've remained the suck.

Yep, and silly me thinking he would be no better than an average starter. But he never lost confidence nor the will to shoot. Guess there's a fine line between a guy like Kobe and a chucker like Miles.

I am so old that I crew up watching black and white T.V., when it first came out. Got to watch Stan the Man and The Duke play baseball, Bob Petitt play basketball and watch Mighty Mouse cartoons. Wonder if I am the oldest member on the board? If I am the oldest member, then please have enough repect for age to quit taking my Rep points away. lol Oh, and a question I have been meaning to ask - After Jazzfanz went down and was later started up again did you get to keep your number of post from before or did everyone have to start over like me?

We all started from 0.

Thanks Numberica and thanks for all the good reading. We seldom disagree and you're one of the better posters on the board.

I appreciate it. That didn't used to be the case if I remember right, but the drama of the AK/Boozer era seems to be over now.
