Suns excited to get Horny as HC

Earl Watson on Jeff Hornacek via 1280 ---Jeff is a smart scheming coach who has lots of adjustments and counters even durring the game.

Wonder if the Jazz will get Watson to be on the coaching staff.

If they were smart, and if they were willing to take a risk, and if they dared hire guys who speaks his mind rather than spinning the line.

Earl is not going to be a coach for the Jazz.
 
Monson on 1280 on the drive home (paraphrasing)
Hornacek at his introductory press conference thanked Jerry Sloan & Cotton Fitzsimmons and others. The painfully obvious omission was Ty Corbin. Not a word about the current headcoach with whom Horny had worked on staff for 2.5 years.

Monson said he had observed an obvious riff between the two, he thought Ty felt threatened by Horny because Jeff was smart and motivated and was obviously going to be a head coach because he was ready. Monson kept saying that Ty was a smart man and could be a good coach someday if he learned to be confident and trust his assistants rather than be threatened by them. I don't think he realized it, but everytime he said 'Jeff is ready' to be a head coach and everytime he spoke of Corbin he said 'He could be someday'.

Monson was careful to say that Jeff never told him that there was a problem, it was just what he had observed. He said less than he knew, but just enough to let it be known there had been problems. Something he said made me think Ty & Jeff might have had atleast a couple of blow-ups in practices.

Sometimes its hard to be a Jazzfan. Today is one of those days for me.

I didn't hear the interview so thanks for the insight. If he didn't thank Ty, I think that says something. And if there was a bit of a riff between Jeff and Ty and Jeff was an advocate for the young players as someone else quoted, then I definitely think we'd have been in better hands if Horny were HC. You're right...sometimes it's hard to be a Jazz fan.

You're not alone there brother.

Ty is hired by Greg/KOC. The franchise doesn't like paying for something for nothing - so it looks like we'll have to see Ty's contract through.

Good news is I do have hope that somehow Lindsey is smart enough to not be content with Ty and will find us decent coach next year.
 
He thanked Ty. Even if there had been major spats Horny's too smart to burn a bridge this early in his coaching career.


I hate Ty... God I hate Ty, that said, I'm not convinced that Hornacek is God's gift to coaching that everybody here seems to think he is. Course I may be wrong... he may end up being a great coach. Though the fact that he was apparently a major advocate for the youth does worry me substantially moving forward. Does Ty have any assistant coaches who aren't yes men?

Also, I see unsubstantiated Burks hate is still alive and well around these parts. At least nbanerd and his asinine commentary is absent at this point.

I don't think we all think that.

What I personally feel is, Ty is like a dark cloud hovering over us... looking down the list of assistants, Hornacek seems to be the only light at the end of the tunnel (knowing that the FO doesn't like to look outside the Org. for new blood).

It's 30 long minutes.
I'm through his speech and he's answering questions right now.

In his speech, he did not thank or mention Ty other than once- He mentioned the Pheonix team he was with and it included Corbin.
No mention otherwise.

EDIT-
When he was asked something along the lines of- Seeing as how you were with Sloan and in that PnR offense, are you going to try and implement that here?
Replied with mentions of Cotton and Sloan and mixing up those 2 offenses. No mentions of Ty.
"I've learned from 2 of the best"
-Jeff Hornacek

EDIT-
"Can you talk about the journey from assistant to head coach?"
Mentioned that AK asked the Jazz to see if Jeff could work with AK. This is how he started the shooting coach gig.
After Sloan quit, Jazz asked him to be assistant coach.
Mentioned that he learned alot from coach Corbin
Very appreciative of Tyrone

EDIT-
One idiot reportor called Deron, DerON

Well that's glaring.
 
Touché then. Though I am pretty sure I read a tweet saying he did which is what I was going off of. I'll try and find it
