Jazz coaching staff MUST get Horny.

Whom can we poach from the Doc Rivers coaching tree? I want D and shooters, and Horny + this dude sounds like the combo. Any ideas on this front?
 
Thibodeau was of the JVG coaching tree but then worked with Rivers and is now working wonders for the Bulls. I've been a big supporter of his for years and wish that Sloan would've departed in a cleaner matter earlier so that we could've grabbed him. But that's under the bridge.

Lawrence Frank is the current lead assistant and he was once hailed as a great head coach but got fired after the Nets looked horrible last year.

I don't know anything about their coaches beyond that.

Having Hornacek take over Corbin's former position and hiring Mike Brown as lead assistant would be ideal, IMO.
 
@tribjazz:
Jazz's Hornacek said he is interested in becoming Utah assistant but first must sit down with Corbin, O'Connor once things slow down.

Sounds like Horny won't come on board until Sunday or Monday at the earliest.

Here's my MAJOR concern in the meantime. If Scott Layden takes up the lead assistant spot (and he's probably the leading canidate ahead of Smitty, Mark McKown and two folding chairs), he not only has to do the in-game charting that Ty usually does, but also carry the dry-erase board AND still be responsible for "holding back" our unruly bench anytime someone commits a hard foul. I'm worried it just might be too much for the man.

The question is, can he do all that while still chewing his gum as loudly as possible?
 
I cannot see Mike Brown coming. He's had too much success. He's just waiting out the right offer. But I do hope Corbin brings somebody in whose total focus is the defense. I seriously think we've had less than 5 hours of film study on defense all season. Which means guys are just doing the basics they've learned all their basketball lives.

Agree. Hopefully I'm allowed to rep you again.

Horny has said multiple times in the past he doesnt want to be a coach, he likes retirement. He just likes being a able consultant and be with his family. I think the only reason he'd come this year is because its only half a year, and could be a good test to see if he likes it.

I guess you lied or were misinformed:

Hornacek, a part-time shooting coach for the Jazz, said he has aspired to be a full-time assistant coach when the time is right.

The Jazz need to add 2 assistants, correct? Horny and Chiesa should be slam dunks. Chiesa as lead assistant would be a really strong move. Listening to him talk about the ins and outs of basketball is amazing.
 
The title of this thread speaks volumes.



And I approve of Hornacek being an assistant.
