The Utah Jazz, as part of a broad coaching search expected to feature some 20
candidates, plan to sound out Jazz legend John Stockton to see whether he has
any interest in the position, according to sources with knowledge of the
situation.
Sources told ESPN.com that Jazz officials intend to at least pose the question
to the Hall of Fame guard about his willingness to move into coaching, while
mindful of Stockton's lack of previous coaching experience and the fact that
he has long loathed the sort of spotlight associated with the job.
Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey declined comment Tuesday night about
Stockton or any other prospective candidates when reached by ESPN.com.
Earlier Tuesday, in a general interview with the Deseret News, Lindsey told the
newspaper that the Jazz are "getting closer to moving to the part where we'll
reach out" to coaches Utah will consider to replace Tyrone Corbin, who was
informed last month that he would not be receiving a new deal. Corbin coached
the Jazz for the past three-plus seasons in the wake of Jerry Sloan's sudden
resignation in February 2011.
Sources say the Jazz are likely to sit down with a handful of potential
candidates this week at the league's annual pre-draft camp in Chicago as part
of an introductory round of interviews. In April, Jazz team president Randy
Rigby told 1280 AM in Utah that the team's "exhaustive" search to find a
successor to Corbin would eventually feature more than 20 candidates.
Since Corbin's dismissal in April, San Antonio Spurs assistant and former
University of Utah coach Jim Boylen has been widely mentioned as the leading
candidate to take over, given his longstanding ties to Lindsey after they
worked together in Houston and the fact that no less an authority than Spurs
coach Gregg Popovich brought Boylen in as his top assistant this season to
replace two top aides who got head-coaching jobs, Atlanta's Mike Budenholzer
and Philadelphia's Brett Brown.
Other candidates who have been mentioned include Chicago Bulls assistant coach
Adrian Griffin, current Jazz assistant Brad Jones, former Missouri coach and
veteran NBA assistant Quin Snyder (who worked with Lindsey in San Antonio), and
European coaching legend Ettore Messina. ESPN.com reported last month that the
Jazz are regarded around the league as one of the few teams that would give
bonafide consideration to breaking the NBA's European barrier and hiring a head
coach who wasn't reared in the United States, with both Lindsey and Jazz
assistant general manager Justin Zanik known to be Messina fans.
Yet in his visit with the Deseret News, Lindsey said "all the speculation is
very premature" because the Jazz themselves "don't know right now" who ranks as
a top candidate.
In Stockton's case, asking where he stands on coaching, if nothing else, is a
natural due-diligence strategy for the Jazz, who already have employed Karl
Malone as a development coach and welcomed Sloan back to the organization last
season in an advisory capacity.
The assumption in coaching circles is that Stockton, who was fiercely private
as a player and has remained so in retirement, would balk at the media demands
on coaches as much as anything about the job. But Stockton also is seen in
some corners as a coaching natural after spending 19 seasons, all with the Jazz
, as a peerless coach on the floor who ranks No. 1 in league history with
15,806 career assists.
Utah's eventual hire will be Lindsey's first chance to install his own hand-
picked choice after taking over for Kevin O'Connor as the lead Jazz decision-
maker.
After scraping into the playoffs last season, Utah consented to bring Corbin
back for the final year of his contract. But Utah's focus in 2013-14 was
clearly on rebuilding after the free-agent departures of forwards Al Jefferson
and Paul Millsap, who had big seasons with Charlotte and Atlanta, respectively.
This coaching hire is a big one for the Jazz after the Phoenix Suns hired away
an ideal candidate last offseason in Jeff Hornacek. In his debut season as a
head coach, Hornacek wound up leading the surprising Suns to a 48-34 mark and
finished second in NBA coach of the year voting.
Utah, New York, Golden State, Cleveland, Minnesota and the Los Angeles Lakers
are the teams with coaching openings at present after the Detroit Pistons
struck a deal Tuesday night to hire Stan Van Gundy as their new coach and
president of basketball operations.
爵士正在評估老史意願？
林賽拒絕對人選評論，但又透露人選快出來了
Jim Boylen....目前被認為領先...
有些文是說老史的拒絕是在老番癲走人當下的拒絕，不代表以後不要。也有文章以Dark
Horse來形容。
老何在太陽的成功，有可能釣出助功王嗎？
西平，你怎麼看
