There isn't a more ridiculous or inaccurate myth amongst Jazzfanz than the one that states Corbin and Sloan both utilized rigid and unflexible substitution patterns, blind allegiance to aging veteran players, and possess identical basketball philosophies.
 
When was a Sloan coached team worse defensively than this one? This team gives up more easy layups than any Jazz team I can ever remember seeing.

The late-Sloan Force-Middle-And-Foul teams were as atrocious.

The difference now, though, is that we have better defenders. They're just getting too few minutes. Corbin made the right adjustments, he's just not policing them with his distribution of minutes.

I think the full line change is also bad for defense. You've got to have a consistent thread of bad-*** attackers in there who set the tone for the guy(s) coming into the game.
