If a coach is making the same mistakes and not correcting them no that is not gatting worse. that is staying the same. Getting worse would him making those same mistakes and new ones. He tried new things thru the season and improved, still bad, in some areas. Ty does learn, just very, very slowly.
Corbin's most successful adjustments have largely been made for him in the last two years (injury). He tried starting Favors to begin the 2011 season and it was a failure (Al? Favors played great when Al sat the third game and played next to Millsap). He's shown a willingness to tinker with lineups but usually only tinker and the only player he's been completely unwilling (or unable) to adjust role or minutes for happens to probably be the biggest impediment to good basketball on the team (Al, and the organization owns a huge part of the blame here).
Ok we are just arguing over labels. But we agree he has continued the majority of his flaws? Has not corrected very many things?
Al Jefferson will soon be gone and General Corbin E. Lee's offensive and defensive genius will be on full display. He'll finally have full control over the team and won't have to worry about pacifying baby veterans like CJ, Watson, & Roger.
I agree with that. We all kept saying, "just give Corbin a full training camp and season to see what he can do." Well, the results are in and the offense has regressed and their was no significant change in the defense. Ty kept making the same mistakes. He kept rewarding great performances with DNPs the next game (or in the remainder of the same game), Instead of calling his players to task, he'd just mumble, "it's only one game" after an sloppy game and/or key loss. IMO, Corbin has shown little leadership and no offensive or defensive imagination. He was almost always outcoached every game, as evidenced by the Jazz' terrible 3rd quarter performances. Blame it on Al, or Millsap, or Foye. Personally, I don't buy that "keep peace in the locker room" crap. If veterans aren't earning their PT (and I'm calling you out, Paul, Randy and Al), then they need to be benched. Give them a wake-up call, if only ONCE for crying out loud. Otherwise you send a message to then that effort isn't important. And you send a message to the young players that it doesn't matter for them, either. As long as the vets are healthy, they're going to play 30 mins. - no matter what.Al Jefferson will soon be gone and General Corbin E. Lee's offensive and defensive genius will be on full display.

I disagree with him having improved at all. I think the team has gotten worse the more impact he has on it. He may have improved in some aspects but he has gotten worse in others (or at least the team has, which is the only way I know to judge a coach). He's still super slow to make lineup adjustments. He's still unable to make in game adjustments. And he still plays the wrong players.You are missing the point. I am not calling Corbin a good coach. All I said is that he has improved and he has. This entier post is all about him not improving as fast as you want. Well guess what? Join the club. However that does not mean he has not improved at all. Let alone get worse as you initially claimed.
Pop in the huddle after the Spurs were up 16 in the 4th quarter of game 5. "Knock the stuffing out of them". Damn!! Now THAT is what I want our coach to say.
What would Ty say? "Keep playing hard guys, mkay..."
