Tyrone Corbin will not be back as Utah Jazz coach next season.
The team announced Monday that Corbin will not be offered a new contract.
The Jazz said the search for a replacement will begin right away.
Corbin took the job in February 2011 when longtime coach Jerry Sloan retired after 23 years. He compiled a 112-146 record that included one playoff appearance in 2012 and a second winning season in 2012-13 (43-39). But the Jazz struggled to a 25-57 record this season, the franchise’s worst mark since 1981-82.
“The decision to make impactful changes in our organization is never taken lightly,” Jazz owner Greg Miller said. “Ty has always represented the Jazz franchise in a first-class manner both on the court and in the community. He did a wonderful job of building relationships with the players and encouraged their growth throughout the season. We wish Ty, Dante and their family nothing but the very best for their future.”
Corbin, 51, enjoyed a long playing career in the NBA that extended from the 1985-86 through the 2000-01 seasons. He served as an assistant coach for the Jazz from 2004 to 2011 before he was promoted to replace Sloan.
