Ettore Messina or John Stockton?

You're probably right that he could have the job as long as he wanted it. But a guy like Stock...if he knew he wasn't doing a good job (and he would know), he'd probably quit. Though I think the chances of getting him to coach at this point in time are slim to none anyway. Bring on Messina.

Maybe he'd quit. But he also said Corbin was a good coach. So how would he judge himself? It would likely take a change in ownership to get rid of John; the Millers just couldn't bear to do it, no matter how bad his record. Still think that if/when they interview Stockton, they're not doing it for a full-time role. I think they realize Burke struggled and would like John to work with him on a semi-regular basis just as Hornacek did with AK initially.
 
Stockton was one of the smartest players to ever play the game, and was the best of all time to ever play the position that is referred to as the "coach on the floor" position. Kidd and Jackson are two PG's that were able to translate with zero coaching experience, and they weren't/aren't even half as smart as Stockton. Granted, Kidd and Jackson inherited teams with some gifted players on hand already, but with this draft and the continued development of our current youngs, maybe we could have the players as well.

If the Jazz wanted Stockton, and he accepted, they would be energizing their team and fanbase in a MAJOR way. People would be very forgiving of him and the situation through this rebuilding process. Dude is bigger than Jesus.

If I were asked by someone that if I'd be Lindsey and if I was asked to pick a coaching staff and if there was no chance of getting denied, I would hire Messina or some equal caliber Euro coach for HC and John for ***. Then let John take over after a few seasons.
 
Jazz's inexperienced coach did not work out with the current roster. Hell, it was a disaster actually.
About time to bring in an experienced and charismatic coach with strong influence over players.

TyCo was a bad and stupid player when compared with Stockton.
Stockton is a bball genius, at least he was one on the court.
 
Stockton was my choice all season long , because I had no idea that the FO would actually have the tendency for a European coach. This is even better if they can pull it off.
 
I love Stockton as a player but Messina has proven he can coach. A factual statement would be Messina is the John Stockton of coaching.

As John Stockton doesn't have a professional coaching record, I'm not convinced we can compare the two.

A good reason why you can compare them. Let's say one guy has been programming computers for twenty years
Rs and the other one has never turned a computer on. Could you compare their programming skills?

No, not with the information you just gave.
 
I think Stockton would be a great coach. He's learned for one of the best in Sloan, he was a terrific player on the court. I think he would give a lot of trust to the players and have great relationships with them. I could see him coaching like Hornacek, so I would be vey happy if either of them got hired.

John Stockton has zero coaching experience. None.

He's also the hometown here…which means that if he does poorly, which is a pretty good chance, we have to fire him. That tarnishes his reputation in Utah.

John Stockton going to coach here with no experience is a lose-lose situation for him, and for the Jazz.

Unfortunately I have to agree here. But, that doesn't stop me from day-dreaming about the possibility of seeing Stockton roaming the sidelines one day for the Jazz.
 
Etoire is Phillipe Jackson of European. Jonathan Stockton is two viola Carlos Malone like Jerrebuko Sloan is two more viola of Phillipe Jack.


Denny job is easy peasy lemon squeezy for today. #GetEtt
