Sloan agrees to contract extension


SALT LAKE CITY (AP)—Jerry Sloan will return as the coach of the Utah Jazz for the 2009-2010 season.

The Jazz said Sunday that Sloan agreed to a one-year contract extension that will mark his 22nd season at Utah. Details of the contract were not available.

Sloan is the longest tenured coach in NBA history after taking over for former coach Frank Layden on December 9, 1988.

Earlier this season, Sloan became the first NBA coach to win 1,000 games with one team. Since Sloan’s hiring there have been 225 coaching changes in the NBA and every team has made at least two changes except for Utah.

Sloan is such a good coach and widely underrated like Pop.

got mailman and stockton to finals
but never won anything
that is why he is "underrated"

I think Sloan is a good Xs and Os coach, but his legacy will always be tarnished in my book because he taught his players to play dirty pool on the basketball court. Some of the Malone pulled could have been prosecuted in a court of law as assault.
