    Says he was picked out of many candidates calling for the job and no lead assistant initially

    The Jazz's new coaching foursome could become a five piece.



    With young Utah big men Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter in need of isolated training and veteran Al Jefferson yet to reach his ceiling, Utah's front-court loaded roster would benefit from a player development coach.

    Much like the recent hiring of assistant Sidney Lowe, though, the addition hinges on timing.



    If the NBA lockout ends by Monday and the league preserves a full 82-game season, the Jazz believe that adding a player development coach makes sense. But if the work stoppage continues and a shortened season is in the future ― one that features hectic travel, back-to-back-to-back contests and a lack of downtime ― hiring a skills coach whose job is predicated upon productive practice dates will likely be tabled.

    Sidney Lowe officially became a Jazz assistant coach early Thursday morning. But the basketball lifer has discreetly been holding the title for weeks.


    Lowe has already been involved in several team-evaluation meetings with Utah coach Tyrone Corbin, and assistants Scott Layden and Jeff Hornacek. The foursome have relied upon video of the Jazz

    [quote]The Jazz are still considering adding a player development coach, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned.

    Utah coach Tyrone Corbin is currently backed by assistants Sidney Lowe, Scott Layden and Jeff Hornacek.

    Corbin has often said he's open to adding a big-man coach that could aid the development of second-year forward Derrick Favors. Meanwhile, rookie Enes Kanter would especially benefit from an experienced coach who could push him during practices, building up his game and strengthening his confidence.
    The timing of the hire initially hinged upon the NBA lockout ending. Now that the work stoppage is close to being over and training camp could start Dec. 9 for a compressed 66-game season, the Jazz are still interested in adding a fifth coach.

    However, the official schedule has not been released, and Utah wants to first examine the four-month regular-season calendar

    When Hall of Fame power forward Karl Malone 's name was mentioned, Corbin laughed and wondered if The Mailman would want to be tied down: "I'd have to call Karl. It's a full-time job."
    He said he wanted in. Why wouldn't u talk to him?

    From Karl Malone interview:

    On Karl coaching with the Jazz

    "Oh no, no. We done been there. You can't beat the fart out of a dead mule. Let's pass on that. They ain't gonna call.
    Wonder why? Can't believe you wouldn't want him around in the summer and training camp at least to work with the big kids.
