My Take
Tyrone Corbin interests me most as a coach rather than a player. Rising 198 cm out of Columbia, South Carolina, and reaching the NBA via DePaul is an achievement, but what I keep returning to is the hand he was dealt in 2011, taking over the Utah Jazz immediately after the legendary Jerry Sloan resigned. Following an icon is a thankless brief, and Corbin's willingness to stay in the trenches as far down as an assistant role with Charlotte tells me he simply loves the game's machinery. I respect that career-long commitment to the craft over the spotlight.
