We will all be "going pretty good" when you are fired

Enes Kanter played just 5 minutes, his shortest on-court stint since Jan. 30 when he played 5 minutes against the New Orleans Hornets.
Here was Corbin's rationale:
"Al was going pretty good, he was going pretty good. When he wasn't getting shots, he was drawing the double team, he was making the right passes, he got alittle tired there but I was going to take him out and then he was going pretty good. We had a timeout, I let him stay in there. The team rallied around him, because we can go secondarily to him to get the ball and the guys can make plays on the backside."

can we please get a coach who doesn't think that 18 points on 19 shots with no free throws made is "good." I can't stand to watch this team anymore, it frustrates me more than anything. At this point I'm looking toward the off season and hoping the front office will wise up and hire someone who can actually coach.
 
The team rallied because Hayward took full control of the offense not because Al made a pass
 
Im beginning to wonder of Corbin could even handle coaching an AAU team let alone an NBA team.

He is so in over his head. What an asshat.

Have the Jazz ever fired a coach? Layden and Sloan both retired/quit. Anyone before that?

Tom Nissalke is the only Utah Jazz coach to get the ax. I think all the New Orleans Jazz coaches were fired.

I think Nissalke is the only Utah Jazz coach/assistant/GM/president that I can think of that's ever been fired.

Is this your paper, Larry?
 
Simply another example of the hipocrisy and inconsistency of Ty Corbin. When someone like Favor has been "going good" with 23&15 through 3-quarters it doesn't earn him a ticket back into the game. When someone like Burks has been "going good" with 14/4/4 and solid defense on Kyrie Irving - it doesn't prevent Ty from replacing him with Mo to finish a game. When someone like Al is "going good" with high-volume scoring, he must be kept out on the floor because scoring in the post - regardless of how inefficiently it occurs - is the holy grail of the 2013 Utah Jazz. I suppose it's a positive that Ty kept Burks/Hayward/Favors out there to finish the game but it's too little too late in both the game as well as Ty's coaching career.

5 minutes for Kanter while Al is playing 43, taking more shots than points, turning it over 3 times (including with 60seconds left and Utah within 7) and playing his usual scarecrow defense in the paint. It's not like you have Karl Malone with a decade's worth of work and you know that even if he's having a poor shooting game - his competitiveness and presence still gives you the best chance to win down the stretch. After 3 years in Utah everyone and their dog should know what Al gives you at this stage. Ty repeatedly utilizes Al as if he were Malone, Hakeem, Shaq or one of the alltime greats, rather than the poor-defender, volume scorer he is.
It's obvious that at this stage Corbin is way in over his head, but he would still be a better coach without Al on the team.
 
Collectively, the TEAM lost those games but Corbin made damn sure he was the headline more often than not. What say you in your defense? I don't see anything in Corbin. Well, I do, but it's all bad. He is a nice guy, though. He's stupid as a rock, but a nice guy.
