They did? When? Please provide a link.
.
Those young players were only raw because he refused to play them when he had the opportunity to develop them. He waited to try and develop them until after he was forced to. Can't claim a rookie is still raw when they have been with the team multiple years and you had time to work on it.
.
Today made this franchise 1000% easier to be a fan of. 99% of the fans could see the problem and the only problem I now have with the FO is that this decision is a year late. Hornacek should have been hired last off season, but the loyalty of this franchise got in the way of them making the right decision at the right time.
.
The only scar this will carry is the 3.5 years he was coach.
I want to thank Ty for all his contributions to the team over the years. I know he was put in a difficult situation from the beginning and he seemed to handle with dignity and respect. Even though I was frustrated with his substitution patterns at times and the lack of defensive improvement of the team, I can't fully hold him responsible for all the failures this season. I wish him well and if Depaul is truly interested I hope he gets the job. I am sorry that a few vocal fans felt the need to constantly bash you and not even attempt to support you even from the beginning. Best wishes to you and your family.

Sad to say, but I can understand how you would think thus. Does seem like they threw him under the bus to a degree, but at the same time I really think they were doing the best thing for the franchise when they let go of SAp and Jefferson.

I didn't think it made sense when they handed the reins to Ty to begin with instead of making him an interim coach but that was not his fault. And I do think it is time to move on. However, anyone who thinks Ty got a good opportunity here is kidding themselves. He was put in a very difficult situation each year for different reasons and he is a much better coach than most on this site gave him credit for. Good luck to Ty and his family and thanks for the dedicated effort he put in while a Jazzman.
And just like this board spewed venom at Sloan and then Ty, they will the spew at the next guy - possibly after a short honeymoon period. There are very few NBA team sites that don't skewer the coach on an ongoing basis. Such is life in the spotlight loaded with back seat drivers.

I only spewed venom when he did something dumb, which seemed to happen continually. I have nothing against the guy. He just made too many poor decisions. People are saying he had a lot of class; well, he did not go out with class. Everyone knew the Jazz needed to lose that last game to clinch the fourth spot in the lottery. So, what does he do -- after the bench guys are in the process of losing the lead and the game to Minny in the 4th quarter, he puts the starters back in again. All he had to do was play out the string and let the benchwarmers finish and lose the game. No one would lose any respect and the Jazz would've secured their draft position, like so many other teams have done in the past. But no, he has to go out and try to win a game, that wasn't meaningless, that if they won, was not in the best interests of the Jazz. That was either another dumb decision by Corbin or a classless, vindictive move by a coach who knew he was on his way out.
Solid contribution, per usual.
This is the sentiment shared by the majority of fans outside a few niche hater sites.

You truly ARE delusional.
I guess we all is just haterz on this site (outside of you, gomretat and a couple others).

Let's be honest Frank....
Ty wasn't DL's guy....
So once the reigns were handed to DL Ty was out the door, baring a Phoenix like season!!!
So Ty did get the raw end of the deal but he also could've left once KOC was no longer in charge and knew that DL was going to head in a Direction Ty wasn't a fit for!!!!

Okay. In your delusional universe this is probably not even true.
It's not letting him go that's the issue, it's the dirty way they've done it and treated him. They've sat silent all year and let Ty take the blame for everything instead of doing a little PR or letting him explain his decisions during press conferences like Sloan used to.
Ty has done everything asked of him by management, and he's been an exceptional developmental coach to the young guys (even that crybaby Enes Kanter). His thanks was a destroyed legacy, mostly by folks who frankly don't have the first clue about anything basketball (I'm looking at you SLC Dunk). When you have a group of people with nearly zero basketball knowledge who are ruining the legacy of your coach you have a responsibility to do a little more for the guy. Instead, they're happy to let him shoulder all the blame.
Such is the life of a very well paid, public figure.

Ruined the legacy? You're quite the drama queen, Mrs. Corbin.
Take away his record the season he replaced Sloan. I don't count that. The other years were average, at best. And I think even Dennis Lindsey was giving him a chance this season. Lindsey knew the Jazz were no better than 35 wins. He gave Ty one directive: show defensive progress. The exact opposite happened. And this DESPITE Corbin saying he was changing the defense a couple of seasons ago (funneling baseline instead of to the middle). Did Chicago ruin Sloan's legacy? Clearly, whatever systems Ty tried were not successful. Maybe they're left over from Jerry. What was successful in the 80's doesn't work today. Ty will have a chance to be an assistant elsewhere. He'll probably get another chance at some future date. If he does, I suggest he come up with a better staff. Bright minds, guys who are known for being offensive and defensive innovators. Not just coaches who failed elsewhere.
And by the way, I heard DL say everyone shares blame for the worst defense in the league.

I'm not falling for troll material. I do applaud the effort.

So what do you make of Ty trying to win the last game and costing the Jazz a position in the lottery? Was that a smart move?
You are out of your mind ... 95 percent of the people on this site were praying that the Jazz would let Corbin go. Don't you recall the fire Corbin polls -- there were a bunch and it was overwhelming how the fans on this site felt. But I guess only the niche haters voted in those polls.

You have proof that he was banned from defending himself in press conferences? or maybe the interviews he's done?
.
They sat silent because that is what a front office is supposed to do. Just stay out of the way and let the coach handle the team. It's not their fault he crashed and burned. It's also not their fault that he is getting blamed for his decisions. It's not like he was asked to do something spectacular with the teams he has been given. He had a playoff quality team last year and failed to make the playoffs. He had a young team with some pieces and was charged with getting a defensive scheme to work and to show some development and teach them to play together, he failed on all counts.
.
All the Corbin supporters claim he was dealt a tough hand. That is actually true. It's what he did with it that lost him the job and his credibility as a coach.
