He fits the background of what Lindsey has been doing, so he looks like the guy. No idea if he can coach and what his philosophy's are like. He's obviously worked under some tremendous head coaches though, 11 years with Rudy Tomjanovich at Houston and then this year with Gregg Popovich.
Certainly wouldn't call his stints with guys like Mussleman and Porter anything to write home about, but Frank Vogel is a decent coach too.

Mussleman and his dad know d and Porter knew Adelman's offensive system so I'm sure there were things to pick up there as well. The thing he has going against him which is hard to ignore is his time at the University of Utah. The fans are already against him and that was a big problem for Ty by the end. Not the way to go into the job. Put a lot of pressure on him to win right away.

Narrows down who's available now anyway.
Idaho makes sense. I guess that's Boise? I think it might be a little further away than the planned St. George location but better airport access to send players back and forth. Much needed development. No reason not have guys playing big minutes in whatever the Jazz's system will be in the minors as opposed to sitting on the bench in the NBA.

[QUOTE]"I was very pleased with his natural decision-making, intelligence, instincts if you will," Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey said in sizing up Burke's performance this season. "And the ball gets to the right spot.
"It's very unusual to have a point guard that can score but still be very significant in the assists column. I think us managing that, managing his expectations along with that, but I think we have a good one that could be a real good starter in the league for a number of years.
"We talked a little bit about personal discipline," Lindsey said of his exit interview during the team's annual locker cleanout day in April. "Trey really wants to lead, not that he's undisciplined, but he's got to take it to a new level. And it would be hard for any 21-year-old point guard to come in and lead, even a very young group with little experience. I think Trey's ambition, his work ethic, his intelligence are all good characteristics that will provide a platform for him to move to greater heights. "
Burke, the 2013 college player of the year and consensus first-team All-American, agreed that there are parts of his game that are still a work in progress. But he seems determined to work hard and make improvements wherever they're needed.
"Getting stronger, staying focused more than anything," he said of his goals going forward from locker cleanout day. "What I took from it more than anything, they asked me how committed I am and if I want to be the best player I can be. There's certain things I need to do, which is working hard, staying focused, staying out of trouble, and basically turning my weaknesses into strengths.
"Finishing at the rim, getting to the bucket more, becoming a much more consistent shooter, I think I've grown a lot at being a pure point guard. I still don't think I'm a pure point guard yet, but that's the biggest difference right now is getting to the rim and finishing at the rim, being a more consistent shooter.[/QUOTE]
Not sure you ever will be a pure pg. Not many of those around.
[QUOTE]"And I think on the defensive end, Coach Ty (Corbin) said he knows I can defend," Burke said. "He's seen me defend before, he said it's a mindset to be willing to defend all the time. A good example of that is Chris Paul. It's more focus, defense is more of a mindset
