Is Corbin in over his head?

Did I miss something? I've been out of the loop if Earl said something to the media.

Earl was upset that Ty had decided earlier this week that Tinsley was now the backup PG. So he made a comment to the media that it was unfortunate that his injury came after the trade deadline. He said that he would talk with his agent and go from there. Next game after saying all this, he was back to his backup position. Tinsley is back to the end of the bench again.

On one hand, I suppose I should feel somewhat encouraged that Ty's "thinking outside the box" to the point he's willing to finish the game with a non-starter on the court. The concerning part is that he left Watson in there because he "thought he was going good."

Putting aside the issue of whether Watson should even be ahead of Tinsley in the rotation, leaving Watson in during crunch time when the opponent is consistently playing zone is both and illogical and inflexible. Even if Utah somehow manages to make the postseason - I'm terrified of the damage Ty could do there because as questionable as his substitution patterns have been in the regular season - that sort of thing is magnified in the postseason where opposing coaches play every angle in an effort to gain a mismatch.
 
You really think Corbin is the coach? The lineup is being called from someone in management or even ownership that knows almost nothing about basketball. Why else would Corbin have been selected to replace Sloan. Why else would CJ the Clown get so much playing time and why else would you pull your starting point guard down the stretch. The Jazz have never had a good head coach. They hire coaches that will do what they are told to do.

but the worse part is jazz where on a tear beating teams left and right. moved into a top 8 spot.
but now jazz are out of the top 8 and SUCK
 
I was thinking that Corbin played Watson because he did a better job guarding Thomas, who was going by Harris like he was standing still. And in fact, if the refs got the call right on that drive near the end when Earl didn't foul Thomas, the Jazz likely would've won the game.

Its still troubling to see this happen again: a vet bitches about bench time even though he had been outplayed and bingo he is back in the lineup. That cannot be good for team morale or respect for the coach.

nah it aint all on harris its jefferson and in lesser extent millsap WHO SUCKS at picks.
when jefferson man puts a pick for isiah jefferson just messes up the defensive scheme
 
Guess what guys...I have good news. If we make the playoffs, Josh Howard and Raja Bell are probably healthy enough to come back! I can't wait to see the lineup.....
 
If those guys ever come back, then what's the use in making the playoffs -- only good for Greg's bank account but not for the future of the team, and we lose a draft pick at the same time.

I detest the incessant whining on this board - I rarely come here after losses because people drone on about the same old ****.

But when a team is coming off 8 wins in a row at home and the coach decides to change the formula just to assuage a veteran - that's a bad decision. Actually it's worse than a bad decision - that's weakness. And when that bad decision/weakness leads to a loss against a below average team at home, that a frickin' meltdown.

Earl Watson is a decent NBA PG. At times he's good; but essentially he's stictly back-up talent. Always has and always will be. But right now there TWO other PG's on this team that are playing better than him. If any one can give me a reason why he was finishing last night's game other than the fact that he bitched to the media I'd love to hear it.

good post
 
He is going to eventually lose the locker room if he keeps saying "you have to earn, your minutes" and then takes them away from those that earned them. Everyone in that locker room knows Tinsley is a better point guard than Watson.

Well put.
 
Unfortunately, Corbin is not his own man. He's got too much SLoan blood in him. He should have learned from SLoan not only what to do....but what NOT to do! Modern day ball players are different than when SLoan was coaching. I'm not saying you let the inmates take over the asylum.....but you can adapt to the new situation and still play fundamentally sound winning basketball. I never bought into SLoan's substitution patterns based on the clock. Substitutions should be based on quality of play, matchups but not just the time on the clock!

The myth that Sloan was rigid and unwavering in his substitution patterns is not only incorrect - it's almost laughable to the point I wonder which team Jazz fans were watching for the past 15 years.

seriuosly stfu up already harris this harris that harris **** harris suck.
yeah we know your a harris fans
**** fans like you make me wish harris gets traded i hat fans of players.
its a team game you either a jazzfan or get the **** out
 
This shortened season is hard on coaches and I realize that games are coming too soon on top of each other. My biggest problem with Ty is that he doesn't seem to have basketball common sense to make right decisions. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to come up with a game plan before the game on substitution patterns and then change them as the game goes along. It seems like he isn't watching the same game as everyone else. I also wonder if they have even had a practice this year about playing against a zone. We are looking at the worst scenario possible, no playoffs and no GS pick.
