Just taking the temperature of the room.

Scenario: Monty is fired later today.

Is Woodson a person you'd wanna see replace him?

No no no no no no no

And i can tell you that even in spanish and italian: NO

Absolutely not. Keep Monty if Woodson would be the plan. I was having good vibe with Monty late in the season BUT he reverted back to his old self. I really question if this guy will change with time or if he is truly stuck in his ways. Cause he seems he recognizes his mistakes and yet still finds himself making them over n over.

Woodson is a well respected coach that a lot if basketball people are saying wasn't givin a fair shake in New York

only candidate for either team i'm somewhat intrigued by is Hoiberg but Monty isn't going to get fired this offseason

Well respected =/= good. I mean, his career is mediocrity over mediocrity, if we have to stay mediocre or average let's just go on with monty, he'll cost us less and AD likes him already

Please stop this thread

Add Ty Corbin to that list. So he's a bad coach on a tanking year and he gets the boot but Monty suck also and he gets a renewed contract.

The Jazz has elected not to offer head coach Tyrone Corbin a new contract. A search for a new head coach will begin immediately.

It's a projection on what teams record would be without injures on how they did b4 some of the injuries occurred.

So what's the point you are trying to prove?

Does this indicate that the Mavs and. Grizzles would be worse with no injuries?

Where the hell did u pull that useless piece of garbage from?

So if the team were healthy we'd only have won 5 more games?

Bovine feces.

Steve Kerr is up for the Knicks job? Interesting. I wonder if he is ready for that Stan Van Gundy Pat Reilly vibe.

Yes. Someone calculated what the league would look like if no one on any team got injured. It's obviously suggesting Dallas and Memphis benefited from playing injured teams.

Whoever takes that Jazz job is in a cat bird seat. They have loads of talent, a sure fire #4 pick, and you aren't replacing Jerry Sloan (you are replacing the guy that replaced Jerry Sloan). With a good bit of coaching, that team could be fire as Trey Burke, Gordon Hayward, Kanter, and Favors have proven they can work well together, throw in a Parker, Embiid, Wiggins, or Smart, and they could be the next OKC.

I disagree.
Burke will improve but I don't think he showed himself to be anything special. Hayward is about to get significantly overpaid. He is a good player but shouldn't be more than a third option offensively. Kanter had a very disappointing year and it seemed he could do nothing but score the ball. Favors is very good and should continue to improve. I think a lot of their future rests in how this pick of theirs turns out. I think the Celtics, Magic, and 76ers all have a brighter futures than the Jazz personally.

The Magic, Celtics, and 76ers need more than 1 guy on their roster worth a lick before I say they have a better future (especially if Utah gets a higher pick than any of them). Playing under Corbin they never never had direction. Get a Hollins in there, or some coach to maximize the talent of their bigs and they could be scary good.

I do agree about Haywood though. I believe they are about to make an AK-47, Gordon type crap max contract move. And if they do, there goes any flexibility that they will have going into 2015-2016.

Try Corbin poorly run offensives and defensives schemes(and poorly is putting it mildly) really killed that team. He forced Hayward as the main ball handler and forced Burke into a spot up shooter. When they ran the PNR with Trey and the bigs Kanter and Favors the offense was much more efficient.

My take is we give them both a pass due to injuries. That would be the prudent thing to do.

That said if we make the change switch styles and go with a run and gun coach like Vinny-Del or if he gets canned Mike D. The make up this really young roster should be pushing the floor every night, espesicaly against some of the older teams in the west.

Sure they are gonna score a lot but our guys should be able to last longer and you only need to win by one point. Of guys get that point at the end.

Besides it makes the team much more intresting to watch, packs the fans in and most importantly we are most effective on the move. Every time we set up in a conventional set we take bad shots or waste too much time and take even worse shots.

I disagree as well. Not sure how anyone can look at the 76ers vs the jazz roster and think the 6ers have a brighter future lol. And when I say future I mean the immediate future like next year or 2.

Just playing around on the web and saw on ESPN how the Jazz are considering 2 guys to be their head coach.
1) Jim Boylan- The man that killed U of U basketball.
2) Ettore Messina- The HC of CSKA Moscow.

If I were them I would go foreign and bring in Messina. Boylan wouldn't generate as much as an ant's fart worth of excitement.

I'm a Knicks, absolutely no to this. There is no excuse the Knicks missed the Playoffs.

Woodson let J.R. do whatever he wanted and rewarded him for bad play, was biased to players (J.R., Felton), had no game plan, ran Melo to the ground (leading the league in minutes) despite it hardly every helping the team win, gave DNPs to rookies even after games they JUST did well in and games they helped win.

He was worse than even D'Antoni. Stay far away.

I am a Trail Blazer, absolutely no way to this. There is every reason the Blazers made the playoffs.

Stotts let LMA draw caricatures of the training staff and fed him pop rocks and soda for it, was racist against foreign players (Batum), was schizophrenic, and drove his car without getting an oil change (led the league in miles per hour) despite not knowing how to drive a stick, gave detention slips to rookies after they showed up on time.

He was worse than even Popovich. If you see him, don't meet his gaze. He will turn you to stone.
