I hope this isn't some sort of preconceived notion slipping through here about Americans in general. Let's be frank here; Tanjevic's comments were hyperbole and gave the appearance of someone who was angry and not thinking straight. Had any American coach said the same thing about American coaches, European coaches, or Oompa-loompas, his/her comments would have seemed the same way, but you rarely see professional coaches making statements like this about other coaches because it's more complex than wins and losses in the NBA (Where is Popovich without Duncan; Jackson without Jordon, Shaq etc.?). You should also think about how many people on this forum criticize Corbin. It has nothing to do with Americans thinking their coaches and players are perfect or "gods" (although Michael Jordon is close). People get in trouble when they make blanket statements, and his comments were not well thought-out.

You are right and you have summarized what this asinine discussion is really about for you. Turkey is the most awesomest country and USA suxxxors and we are mental midgets. Go kick rocks.
Glad you could take an absurd notion to the next level. You must be so proud.

Pretty easy to ascertain that this discussion slipped into a veiled nationalist discussion for some, quite sometime ago. You should have grasped that but you were too busy being a dumbass.
Glad your excuse is that "Others were doing it!" Let me know how that works out for you.
How do I taste?

It seems as if there is a campaign Tanjevic to coach the Jazz, so I'm rooting for it.
They need love to you jackwagon.

I voted yes only because he is a moron on offense. I complained about Sloan on offense because he did too much of the same stuff and didn't branch out. But I actually think Corbin is worse on offense. His offense is just as bad as the Mike Brown teams. Its like a high school offense.
Defensively I think he is better than Sloan. He cares more about defense which we needed but offensively Corbin is retarded and has no idea how to play to the players strengths.

Then shouldn't you have voted "partially"?

So the fact that Corbin is american and just in right place and right time when he was handed the coaching position by the Jazz makes him better then Tanjevic who happens to live in Europe, won multiple titltles on multiple levels but never even applied for NBA coach job? So ridiculous it is not even worth arguining anymore. The mere lucky fact that Corbin ended up as coach of the Jazz does not make him good coach. He did not win anything prior to it with any team, no other NBA team was considering him for coaching position. At the end of the day I think he will end up like numeorus losing coaches in NBA - with losing record and out of the league.
Perhaps but what you ignore is that Tanjevic is still not qualified to offer ralistic criticism of Corbin. Regardless of merit Corbin is dealing with NBA talent and the NBA landscape. Tanjavic is not.
Before all my Turkey friends go nuclear, relax. I'd say the same thing if Corbin slammed Tanjevic. Corbin would not know him or the team enough to have any sort of informed decision and he would be better off not speaking.
It's just the fact that his opinion is obviously bias out of the *******. He is still butt-hurt that Kanter went to UK instead of playing in Turkey, he is butt-hurt Turkey is sucking at basketball on the national stage, he is butt-hurt Kanter didn't want to play for his ****ty team.

You funny as Matt Harpring smartie boy. In 2008 Beijing olympic games Usa was againts Greece in Group B and krzyzewski was interviewing and made his comment i told. It is just a sign American coaches are not interested in European basketball versus European coaches. It is normal you do not know who papaloukas is because you just an average biased basketball fan who thinks basketball is being played just in NBA.
