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.

Overview

Tyrone Kennedy Corbin (born December 31, 1962) is an American former professional basketball player who last worked as an assistant coach for the Charlotte Hornets. He was first appointed the assistant coach of the Phoenix Suns, then was named the Utah Jazz’s head coach, on February 10, 2011, following the resignation of longtime coach Jerry Sloan.
