    NBA is getting harder and harder to stomach each year...i'm sure i'll be done with the league once the Spurs' current guys are done...when Pop leaves, that'll probably the final straw...

    Maybe somebody can convince Jerry to join their team as an assistant (i.e. Pop)
    I'd love that, but I think Jerry calls it a career and we never hear from him again.

    The best we can hope for is that a little bit of Jerry rubbed off on Tyrone Corbin, but who knows. Maybe he's too scared of Williams to run things the way he'd really like to.

    i don't see it happening. i think he'll be glad to walk away from it all with really nothing to regret.

    Reminds me of when Kobe was pissing his pants and asking to be traded, then the basketball gods dropped Gasol in his lap and we haven't heard a word since.

    Point being, don't your pants because you lost a few games, you're still in sixth place and you have a Hall Of Fame coach, don't your diaper kid.

    Sad, sad day for the NBA. The blueprint for the Spurs championships was heavily based on Sloan and Larry Miller. You just see so much of Sloan in Pop.

    Not good to see him go away like this after his legendary tenure in Utah.

    I'd sooner trade williams to keep Sloan happy. Sloan is the Jazz, much like Coach K is Duke. Not many coaches have that in the NBA, if any.

    Sad news, Jazz will certainly be worse of for it.

    They might have a short term uptick with a new coach, but I'd bet everything I have they won't have 22 of the next 23 years worth of winning seasons.

    deron williams.

    Deron Williams..

    He was basically CAMPAIGNING to be a laker earlier in the season when he praised the lakers for being so great...before their game...

    once the game started D. Williams did what he ALWAYS does when playing the lakers....BEND OVER and make it easy for the lakers to win...every in' year the jazz-bend over at the mere sight of the lakers...and D. Will was actually doing it BEFORE the game even started... D.Will...he belongs on that lakers team...

    Just goes to show how lucky and spoiled us Spurs fans are. Deron Williams is supposed to be their FRANCHISE Superstar player, and he ran their hall of fame coach out of town....Wow. We're lucky to have Pop and the Big 3 in San Antonio...

    I've been a Jerry Sloan fan since he played for Chicago, I was a big Norm Van Lier and Sloan fanatic. The two manhandled many a backcourt in their day. As a coach this guy was from the old school and much like Pop I like how he gives it straight to everybody.

    Deron's far from the only franchise player that Sloan's run into problems with, Karl Malone was no stranger to that and it was probably more than just Deron having problems with Sloan on this Jazz squad.

    However San Antonio is damn lucky to have such a stable and winning franchise though and in many ways this organization is like an updated version of the Utah Jazz.. But I doubt any organization will have a coach tenured for as long as Sloan was. Here's to Sloan And hopefully he doesn't coach the Lakers when Phil retires next season

    Sloan is Pop without the rings. Team first, get over yourself, defense, etc. It's a shame to see him go out like this.

    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.

    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.

    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.
