Jerry Sloan will resign as coach of the Utah Jazz on Thursday, according to media reports in Salt Lake City.
Sloan, who signed a one-year contract extension on Monday, said the team is planning a news conference for 5 p.m. ET on Thursday to discuss his future with the team. He did not offer further details, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. Assistant coach Tyrone Corbin will be taking over the team, the Tribune reported.
I actually like Jerry Sloan and think he could out coached everyone in the league not named Popovich. But after he didnt get a ring with Malone and Stockton, everyone, including Jerry Sloan knew he would never get that chance again in Salt Lake. Its just too hard to compete in the NBA when your orgnization doesnt pay for top players. Its only a matter of time before Deron Williams walks away in free agency too. But I digress, Sloan is a Hall of Fame coach with 1,221 wins and many will remember him as the tough nosed Chicago Bulls forward... basically the white Norm Van Lier.
P.S - If I could have one picture of myself, to have with me at all times, it would definitely be of me hitting a jumper in short shorts with the American Flag in the background. Bitches be DTF.
