    Good for him. He has no reason to bend to some kid who might have still been ting the diaper when Sloan started coaching in Utah.
    Well, Williams would have been 4 years old at the time...

    I can't imagine Williams being too popular with the fanbase after this. Maybe he'll be shipped out of town...perhaps to be wearing the Purple and Gold soon.
    Deron's facebook page was loaded with hate-filled posts from fans and I think he recently disabled that option since I can't see 'em anymore:

    He said might have, and seeing the way he's acting now I wouldn't be surprised if he was ting his diaper still at 4 years old. He's crying like a and acting like a child at 26, so ting his diaper at 4 wouldn't surprise me.

    I like this one:

    "deron, I am a true Jazz fan, which means that I no longer support you. You are a disgrace to the uniform."

    cant believe the Jazz chose sloan over williams. pretty obvious that Deron is on his way out as soon as he can and he'll screw that franchise even more.

    Like i said, he's got a Laker mentality and wouldnt be surprised if he ends up their very soon. just an overall in my eyes.

    Sloan deserved better than to go out like this. what a franchise.

    Sad to see his tenure end in such a classless manner, but the NBA is a player's league. Once Sloan lost his best player, he essentially lost his job. Deron did it in an extremely poor manner, yet he did something that many players have done before him (Jordan and Magic). It'll be interesting to see where Utah goes from here. Will they become like New Orleans and involve Williams in front-office moves to appease him?

    Eh, Deron's a of a player and a huge compe or. I still like him. I think he'll look back on this as a mistake but keep in mind that losing that munch really weighs on compe ors like him.

    I wasn't correcting him. I'm sure there are many kids who took longer to get out of diapers. I was just providing the age data, not rendering opinion on the original comment.

    DWill. Just another example of the monster the NBA created by becoming a players league. When Pop leaves it'll probably be the end of me and the NBA.

    Pop has always said that the Jazz are the best team in the league at execution. No more...

    Pop must feel rather lonely.

    For an infinite number of reasons, SA is lucky to have Tim Duncan.

    The basic synopsis looks like it was: Sloan wanted to suspend Deron after his antics last night - management didn't back him up, so Sloan said F this.
    That's ridiculous. If there's one coach who consistently puts his players in positions to succeed, it's Jerry Sloan. Deron's never going to have another coach as good since Phil's retiring and Pop's not trading for him. What I would give to play for that guy. How many times has his system made scrub players look good and gotten them good contracts?

    What happened to Sloan would never happen to Pop as long as RC and Holt are in charge. It would never have happened to Sloan either is the elder Miller was still alive. Miller junior is as much to blame as anyone for getting in the way.

    It's kind of like a man who dumps his wife for a younger girl that he knows is gonna leave him for a richer man as soon as she can. Later on he'll think he should have kept the wife.

    Good analogy, except the wife is Salma Hayek.

    Wonder how other NBA coaches feel about this. Williams is a good player, but nowhere near good enough to dislodge a coaching ins ution. It was one thing when Magic Johnson or Jordan pressured management for coaching changes, but Deron Williams? you, Williams.

    Says a lot that Spurs fans think so highly of Sloan.

    I always thought Sloan maximized the talent he had. I'm glad he went out on his own terms rather than getting pushed around from whoever it was.

    Pop doesn't work for RC, he only works for Holt. Hist le is something like Head Coach and President of Basketball Operations. I think he's the only coach in the league that doesn't work for the GM.

    What losing? They're in a bad patch right now with some injuries, but in 6th place and probably would have challenged for the 4th seed. That's over. They're not talented enough to free-lance, and no coach is going to dare cross Deron now by actually calling some plays. He'll leave, because the fans will rightly turn on him.

    Oh, and Deron? Those Lakers you admire so much, and think are so bad-ass?

    THEY RUN A VERY STRUCTURED SYSTEM AND THEY CALL PLAYS.

    This is the problem though... these "compe ors" look for excuses for the losses rather than putting it on themselves. It's part of this arrogance so many players have that if they're losing, OBVIOUSLY someone else is to blame.

    Look in the mirror. For as good of a player as Deron is, and as much work as I'm sure he puts in, I'm Sloan is a better coach and I'm willing to bet put in even more work.
