Ettore Messina or John Stockton?

If I were asked by someone that if I'd be Lindsey and if I was asked to pick a coaching staff and if there was no chance of getting denied, I would hire Messina or some equal caliber Euro coach for HC and John for ***. Then let John take over after a few seasons.
 
Jazz's inexperienced coach did not work out with the current roster. Hell, it was a disaster actually.
About time to bring in an experienced and charismatic coach with strong influence over players.

TyCo was a bad and stupid player when compared with Stockton.
Stockton is a bball genius, at least he was one on the court.
 
Stockton was my choice all season long , because I had no idea that the FO would actually have the tendency for a European coach. This is even better if they can pull it off.
 
I love Stockton as a player but Messina has proven he can coach. A factual statement would be Messina is the John Stockton of coaching.
 
Stockton was one of the smartest players to ever play the game, and was the best of all time to ever play the position that is referred to as the "coach on the floor" position. Kidd and Jackson are two PG's that were able to translate with zero coaching experience, and they weren't/aren't even half as smart as Stockton. Granted, Kidd and Jackson inherited teams with some gifted players on hand already, but with this draft and the continued development of our current youngs, maybe we could have the players as well.

If the Jazz wanted Stockton, and he accepted, they would be energizing their team and fanbase in a MAJOR way. People would be very forgiving of him and the situation through this rebuilding process. Dude is bigger than Jesus.

Yea until he started losing..you do remember what happened to Jesus?
 
As John Stockton doesn't have a professional coaching record, I'm not convinced we can compare the two.

A good reason why you can compare them. Let's say one guy has been programming computers for twenty years
Rs and the other one has never turned a computer on. Could you compare their programming skills?

No, not with the information you just gave.
