Yeah what was the explanation for only playing Favors 16 minutes and Kanter 9 minutes in a 4OT game? (I didn't watch the game tonight)
So fire Corbin or not?
- Thread starter Stifle Tower

lack of comon sense is only explenation i have for you dear sir
The fact that the players are playing hard for Corbin is enough for me.
I don't really think that Phil was that great of a coach. It's easy to be a good coach when you have guys like MJ and Pippy, and Shaq and Kobe.
The thing Phil did was not lose his players attention.
If you read the book The Jordan Rules, in Phil's first few seasons with the Bulls, the players didn't like him much, MJ and Pippen both thought the triangle was stupid, and all the players were bitching about their minutes. And this was during the 91 season

Ty shouldn't be fired. I don't think he's done a bad enough job to warrant something like that.
However, I am not confident he's going to be The Guy who can take this team deep into the playoffs. I know that sounds flippant with so little to go on, but I just don't think he's a very good coach. In fact, I'd wager he's on the level of most guys who find their way leading NBA teams - probably not awful, but certainly not very good. Unfortunately, to be a really good team in this league, you not only need the talent, but a coach who's better than just decent enough.
Most NBA teams don't get that in any coach. They might have a serviceable guy run the team and keep things afloat for a bit, but, in the end, they rarely do anything spectacular. You know, a guy like Flip Saunders comes to mind when discussing those coaches. He wasn't awful in Minnesota, but when you got down to it, he only had one season where he led the Wolves out of the first round. Every other playoff appearance they saw under his guidance, seven straight, to be exact, ended in the first round.
Like I said, I don't think Ty is a bad coach. I think his job this season has been serviceable and a bit surprising, since, at the end of last year, I was totally under the impression he would suck. He hasn't. Good for him. He exceeded my expectations. Still, and maybe I'll be just as wrong about this as I was the last go-around, I don't see him as much more than what he is.
I don't know. Ever since he took over for Sloan, he's consistently felt like a temporary option. Just a placeholder until the Jazz go out and get a more experienced and established coach to lead the next generation of players. I know that's not how the Jazz see it, or they wouldn't have extended his contract or brought him back this year, but that's how he's always felt. An interim head coach. Tonight felt like the type of coaching you'd see from Kerry Rupp when he stepped in and replaced Majerus for the remainder of the '04 season.
Not a real coach - or at least a very good one.

He should have logged onto Jazzfanz to get coaching tips.

This is actually an excellent point that seems to be getting completely overlooked.
Or they're all trying like hell to get a future contract before the ship goes down ..........

Corbin's rotations are far worse than Sloan's. And that is truly saying something. Favors logs 19 minutes in a 4 OT game. THERE IS NO ****ING WAY THAT IS REASONABLE. He had 7 FTA in those minutes compared to Jefferson's.......0 in 52 minutes and Paul's 7 in 52 minutes. Unbelievable.
Maybe they should send him home until he learns to do his damn job.

Why does he wait until we are getting crushed to make an adjustment, a timeout, something?
