Coach Sloan

Coach of the Utah Jazz for 23 years. It's a turning point in all of sports that a man of his character is lost from the game. I sure hope it wasn't under the negative circumstances that have been rumored and that he truely just ran out of energy. God Bless.

Williams is a dumbass, Sloan Does the best he can with the fact FA don't come to Utah
Now Stockton, that was a selfless dude
And how does a guy keep his job for 23 years and not win a title? I guess when you're playing in Utah that's fine.
big red's only got 10 years to go
Exactly.
Primadonna douchebag ganster thug NBA trash just wasnt something he could ever wrap his head around.
You will be missed Jerrry.
The younger MIller boy has taken over the ship since Larry died, and I think he wants too much limelight for himself already. The entire Jazz organization will evolve in the next few years. Just have to wait and see what it turns into...
you can't be this clueless can you? guy had only 1 losing season, in UTAH, in the NBA, not exactly a hot bed for the brothers... - call in me in 5-7 years when they are terrible then you will appreciate how good that is/was.
No, you're right, continue to force feed me your knowledge. Get fucking real. It's Utah, that is why he was allowed to stay there that long, not because of one losing season.
careful. pj hawks is not afraid to pull out the age card at any given time....
Yeah, along with all the other horse shit that doesn't provide a sound, logical, argument.
so having 22 winning seasons in 23 seasons in a small market that can barely ever get a meaningful free-agent is not a sound logical argument for keeping your job even without a title? man you really are clueless. i guess if you were a gm or president you'd be firing a coach every year they didn't win a title.i'd love for you to tell me when he should have been fired during that span. and jerry sloan was widely regarded as one of the best coaches in the nba. you should give me your phone number so in 5 years when the jazz blow and have one of the worst records in the nba we can revisit this talk. it's like good and great coaches fall off trees, you know our sixers have only had like 97 coaches in those 23 years. but clearly you proven my point...
I think the 22 winning seasons needs to be put in perspective. He had the great pure point guard and power forward/2man tandem in NBA history. Still a great coach, but 2 dudes probably spoiled him.
Never heard he was a jerk. My uncle always said he was a nice guy when they were makin deals on farm machinery.
Sprinkle in some 1 time champions and those are the teams who have won titles in the last 20-25years
Considering the Jordan factor, (bit Sloan in the ass twice) I think he did a fine job
That's what I was going to say. It's not like 23 different teams won titles during his run, only a handful did and a bunch of hall of fame players never won a title in that stretch because of a few real dominant teams.

Still willing to give Corbin some more time though.

I dont think so... I think Larry H really knew how to run this business in the area, and was beyond lucky when he had Malone/Stockton. Jazz fans are really true blue, what else is there? (Real Salt Lake, Bees, Y and U)
The entire league has nosedived into a sloppy mess especially with the LeRon Debacle.
I think Larrys' son has more invested in his own image and will use the draft picks as gift cards, giving away talent year after year until the team moves on, maybe to Seattle. I know I am pretty negative already, and should give the guy a while longer to prove himself, yet look what happened in his first day with the keys to the new car...
Oh, and I know I mispelled LeRon. If I met him I would call him LeRon repeatedly, like I was some dumb ass that had never heard of this legendary man...
Hey now, I can certainly relate to the frustration of Utah appearing to be crumbling, but that is blasphemy! :P
Seriously though... I know Seattle is hurting for a team, but I couldn't dream of seeing a team like Utah (who really is loved here so much, probably equal to how Seattle loved their Sonics) get moved on. It would be crushing.
We're definitely in a time of waiting for the bounce back. The injuries late in the season have been hugely unfortunate.
My biggest hope is that there is a lot of on court practicing happening this summer, along with a diligent effort to find the right chemistry.

I can definitely get behind this statement. Although there are plenty of people who feel that the NBA has always been and always will be a joke.
