Most underrated coach in the league. It's sickening that Sloan never got coach of the year. What a sad day for the NBA to lose such a legend so abruptly.
Link or anything?..

No, but the unbeavable thing was from an old sound clip Rome would constantly run in about 96-97 or so when I used to listen to it.
I disagree with him being overrated.I think he is a strong head coach that got results and he would have les like many others in the 90s if it wasnt for the Michael Jordan roadblock lol.
tlong...
have you trademarked your--unbeavable-- term yet?
I actually like it.
Great coach..i bet he hates Michael Jordan
Not saying Dwill isnt a diva ...cant really say ... but this team lost Boozer and Wes Matthews and REPLACED them with Al Jeff and Raja Bell ...
I would be pissed too ...
It's what Jumbo Ozaki said when asked to describe Tiger Woods' play during the 1997 Masters Tournament.
Oooooooooh Unbeavable!
Sad stuff. The past few seasons have been very bad for coaches that have clashed with their star player. What's funny is almost all those star players are leaving their team still...
Never happen.... job will go to B.Shaw (Rambis kicking himself in the ass). He will continue to implement the triangle and has the respect of Kobe and all the Lakers. If the Lakers were rebuilding and wanted to implement a new system then I could see going outside.
Has a reason been given? Could be a number of things. Family, health, the FO deciding they are going blow it up and rebuild and his not wanting to go through that process at his age, etc...
Is their a link that says this is about a fued between him and Deron? That he can't handle Deron's divaness? Or is that all just assumptions...
to D-Will for running Sloan out of town.
i never knew deron was such a little . props and respect to jerry . i like the way he's doing this
i wonder whats chucks take on this?? he did rip into lebron for his move, now lets see what his going to say about the jazz
Chuck has nothing but respect for Sloan. Retired greats love old coaches (except MJ, he hates everybody).
Sloan wanted to suspend Deron for last night and the GM said no, so Sloan quit.
Because Deron didnt run that one play he called?
Sloan actually wanted him suspended? Doesn't make much sense. Why not just bench his ass? The article I just read quoted sloan as saying it had nothing to do with last night followed shortly by the ever present "sources close to the team" say there has been conflict for weeks. Well never really know as usual. I always liked Sloan even in his playing days. Tough as nails.
Was Sloan really that good of a coach? What did he really do without 2 future hall of fames in Stockton and Malone?
You get a superstar and you're pretty much set for a decade as far as having a compe ive team. Look at the Mavs/Spurs/Thunder/Lakers/Magic etc. I think you could put in any swinging during the Stockton/Malone era and they'd be in the playoffs annually.
Deron Williams is a great player, but great players don't win championships, great teams do, and you cannot be a great team without a great coach.
If he cannot listen to Sloan what coach would he listen to that is championship worthy?
Utah lost their head coach and Williams slides into the second teir of PGs for his inability to be a team player. Sad day for Jazz fans.
Jerry is a good coach. But he isn't a game coach. He isn't a great coach. Game management and personnel management have perpetually been his downfall. He should have told Malone to stay on the block in 98. He should have called some time-outs with larger leads in 97, and in 2007 could have at least tried to get in Boozer's face.
Would I take Jerry on my Pistons this season? Yeah. But not in 2005.
Exactly. Sure he's not a terrible coach or anything, but I think he did about as good as any decent coach would with 2 hall of fame players in their prime. Multiple deep playoff runs with a couple Finals berths. The big thing is that he failed to win even one le. He's a little overrated, IMO due to the fact that he had such a long tenure there.
You give any decent coach today those teams and that tenure and they do just as good, imho
I just can't see that being true. Sloan is a different type of animal compared to most coaches, the type of fight he expects his guys to put up and their attention to execution...it's definately above standard and has been that way throughout his years. What I do agree with is him not being a BIG GAME coach, he's not the smartest, but his teams will stand and bang with anyone and that's not something you can say about 2/3 the league, imho.
I just don't understand why he would quit mid-season. I always thought of Sloan as a good coach never great. I'm sure its going to be weird for jazz fans not seeing him on the sidelines.
He accomplished quite a bit with Stockton, Malone + a bunch of stiffs. No, he's far from over-rated.
