    Possibly.

    I will forever support my team, but I've got to say that I think Rose has officially surpassed Deron Williams as the best PG. At least in terms of athleticism and scoring. Deron might be the better playmaker though.

    If Sloan leaves, ya think anybody else will jump on him?

    Deron is a better passer today, Rose is the better offensive threat.


    Nobody should toss Sloan under the bus. 23 years and 1K plus wins with that franchise. I can't believe they would let Williams push him out.

    crazy.

    After repeated clashes with star point guard Deron Williams(notes) and a belief he had become undermined with ownership, Jerry Sloan resigned as the Utah Jazz coach after 23 seasons, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

    The increasingly contentious relationship between Sloan and Williams boiled over when they clashed at halftime of a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. Sloan, 68, had agreed to a one-year contract extension in the past week but his growing frustration became public after a long meeting with Jazz general manager Kevin O’Connor following the team’s loss to the Bulls in Salt Lake City.

    Sloan, the NBA’s longest-tenured coach, and his longtime assistant, Phil Johnson, resigned together on Thursday. The Jazz planned a 5 p.m. ET news conference to officially make the announcement.

    Sloan’s relationship with Williams had grown progressively worse over the course of the season, league sources said, and the coach had tired of dealing with the team’s best player. The frustration escalated on Wednesday night when Sloan and Williams clashed in the locker room at halftime.

    “He decided right there in halftime that he was done,” a league source told Yahoo! Sports. “He felt like ownership was listening more to Williams than they were to him anymore. He was done.”

    One source said Sloan had become tired of Williams “blaming everything on everyone else.” Still, Williams, who can become a free agent in the summer of 2012, has remained the Jazz’s best and most consistent player after the departure of several key teammates. Williams has always had a reputation for wanting to win badly and being a strong leader.

    After feeling undermined, one source said Sloan told Jazz owner Greg Miller that if this is how he wanted to run a franchise, he could do it without him as coach.

    Assistant coach Ty Corbin has been named acting head coach, and league sources expect the team will move to secure him as Sloan’s long-term replacement in the near future.

    sort of ironic that his last game as the Jazz's coach came agaist the Bulls.


    if he wants to coach, i'm sure somebody will hire him. or somebody should.

    Nothing personal, DC, but I now hope your team loses every game for the rest of the season. Never liked the Jazz, but always respected that team, mostly because of Sloan. Good for him to just say, "fuck you" and bail.

    I can understand that, and personally i feel the same way. Good for Sloan. If they weren't giving him the respect and authority he deserves, then he should split.

    Thanks Deron, for f***ing this franchise.

    here's to hoping they do not win a game the rest of the season....to tie those crafty 1972 sixers with 9 wins

    I'm not norm, but I think it's a campaign for selling the new-old-school jerseys.

    The Celtics took care of business on Sunday against an elite team and I hope they can heal soon all of them.
