Ty Corbin and the 10,000 hour rule

[larryselbows]

If you are not familiar with the works of Malcolm Gladwell, particularly his book "Outliers" then you probably are not aware of the 10,000 hour rule. Essentially Gladwell does a meta-analysis on some of the most productive people in history, and consistently found that people who become truly great at something, take about 10,000 hours to hone their craft. This got me to thinking about Ty Corbin. If you do the math on the amount of time that he has spent as a head coach it comes out like this:

7 years as assistant coach, where (assistant coach) = (0.5*(head coach)) assuming that head coach duties are about half of a head coaches.
(40 hours per week)*(26 weeks/year)*(7 years)*(0.5) = 3,640 hours

2.5 years as head coach
(40 hours per week)*(26 weeks/year)*(2.5 years)= 2,600 hours

So if you add up the amount of hours of experience that Ty has, it means that Ty has a grand total of 6,240 hours toward his 10,000 hours. Therefore Ty needs about 3.6 more seasons until he reaches coaching excellence.

I propose that we sign Ty to a 4 year extension at the end of which, Ty should be one of the best coaches ever rather than just one of the best right now.

False. Ty needs to be let go so he can focus on his real gifts. Buying storage units. #yupp

 

[Weezur]

10,000 hours of development time. Key word- Development time

He should've come with that resum'e prior to becoming our headcoach. Not sure how long he spent as an assistant.

 

[ATB]

why don't we just hire a coach that's already great and give him the boot! .. if things don't work out then we can always hire him back in another 3.5 more years ... look how great Jerry's done so far... not sure if he has really tried though

 

[cctrackstar]

Yeah, sure, we can just give Phil Jackson a call and he'll come right over. We aren't the Lakers, we aren't the Celtics, sad as it is if we want a great coach, we will have to grow one, not talk some superstar to come here.

If you don't like the way the Jazz are, root for the Lakers.

I'm not opposed to "growing" one. But Ty has shown no indication of being a productive plant. He's a weed. No matter how much you nourish and care for him, in the end, he's not going to blossom into anything useful. I'd rather see the Jazz take any of half a dozen assistants around the league and give them a chance, or a couple of the D-League coaches. Or offer the job to a few veteran coaches who are currently not coaching. You might get the same result as what you're getting with Ty. That's WORST case; the same coaching job that Ty is doing now. If Ty isn't EASILY the WORST head coach in the league, he's at least in the bottom three. So MAYBE, with a few more years, he improves to bottom 10 status? Good $%#; you want to stick with that?

This is idiotic on so many levels. You should have created an alt so that your real handle wouldn't be tarnished by this embarrassment from the past week. This comes off like a pathetic attempt at attention.

This is what your posts are looking like lately:

Serious question though:

Do you have it?

 

[t.work]

Trolloling.

 

[DutchJazzer]

let him rack up those 10.000 hours somewhere else

 

[CitizenofCapua]

He already spent his +5000 hours but he is not even close to be "half productive". So this rule sucks.

 

[carolinajazz]

let him rack up those 10.000 hours somewhere else

...I concur! The team is worth millions and has invested millions. We ain't got time for no 10,000 hours of tutoring!

Your threads are getting so ridiculous that I'm finally starting to get it. You're being over the top sarcastic to aggravate serious guys like me, and you think it's funny. Hardy-har-har-har. I know it's just a game but you should at least try to win and when you have a bumbler like Ty at the helm, there is no chance.

The thing about the '10,000 rule' is that it doesn't mean that everyone who spends 10,000 hours on something becomes great at it. It just means that in order to get great at something, you will need to put around 10k hours into it. It doesn't mean that you necessarily will be great if you do, it just means you have a chance if you also have talent and intelligence in the subject. And Corbin, well, talent and intelligence are not what comes to mind when I think of his coaching ability.

 

[Stoked]

Well cool. Ty can go complete his 10,000 hours somewhere else and when he has become a great coach he can come back.

 

[Revolution 9]

This is not your father's NBA. We don't give anyone the time we used to.

Frankly Ty hasn't shown he has a clue in rotations, his offense/defense looks worse as the year went on, and we are out of the playoffs today.
Nothing he has done said he is getting the most out of these guys.

 

[Gameface]

Usually there is at least a sign of greatness or potential for greatness before greatness is achieved, right? Ty has shown nothing in the entire time he's been here.

I was patient. I gave him a pass on his first season because everything was so unexpected and the team had such a major shake-up. I figured it wasn't fair to judge Ty on that period. Then, with the lock-out and no training camp followed by a short season I again withheld judgement. Even for the first few months of this season I said he needs a chance to get his game plan fully implemented and for the team to execute it properly.

Well, plenty of time has passed. Corbin has never shown any creativity, any particularly valuable insight, unique leadership abilities, or anything that would indicate that he is going to be a good coach. Not now or 100 years from now.

Corbin has been the ultimate play it safe coach. He will never do anything out of the ordinary. If he did it might be possible to blame him for mistakes. As it stands he's following the book, so if there are problems it couldn't possibly be his fault.

 

[Gameface]

Oh, and the teams seeming lack of awareness in late period or late game situations is 100% on Ty's shoulders. I've never seen an NBA team mishandle so many critical situations that even HS teams are fully versed in how to deal with. The fact that this goes on and on and several losses can be blamed on poor decision making and lack of preparation in short-time situations worries the hell out of me. If Corbin doesn't get it someone else, an assistant coach, the FO, one of the ushers, whoever, should be pointing it out and it should get fixed. But it doesn't and our team looks like a bunch of crunch-time amateurs.

I like this part.

Way to just apply an arbitrary x0.5 value to something like him being an assistant instead of a head coach to make your argument work.

The fact is he was a COACH IN THE NBA for (without you getting to 1/2 his hours to make your argument work... I see you Trollin') for 9,880 hours—pretty much proves that you agree with everyone else—Ty's had his near 10,000 hours to do his homework and figure out how to coach. But instead, the dude has this inferiority complex chip on his shoulder from "new young guys" coming in and stealing "his....errrr, i mean veterans" spots in the lineup.

**** Ty! He's killing my love for the Jazz, and I'm not okay with that ********!

 

[carolinajazz]

...the only thing that would happen if the Jazz gave him the other 4,000 hrs he's lacking to hit 10,000? Hey, ya got anymore money you want to throw away???
