I am not going to repeat the story of what happened with Carlos Arroyo, everybody knows it, but what I am going to say is that no respectable person can be treated in the way that Carlos Arroyo has been treated and not feel offended, including myself.

As a Utah fan, I feel offended that the coaching organization never bothered to explain to me what really happened with Arroyo and I demand that explanation to keep my respect for that organization. You don't do what you did with Carlos Arroyo for him to end up, as he did, and then say "It happens!"

I am really upset at that, and worried whether I can follow and respect the Utah Jazz, if they don't respect me as a fan.

If you want to know what the remedy for the Jazz problem is, you have to find the problem. So don't ask me what the remedy is. Tell me first what the problem is and then I can tell you what remedy to apply. I don't think that there is any group of talented players of any kind, that can succeed as a team without a teacher, a leader and an inspiring director.

Thank you for allowing me this wonderful opportunity to release this awful frustration within me.

Jazz need mental tune-up

If the Jazz are really lacking the will to win as implied by Coach Sloan, maybe a mental tune-up would be in order. There is a very fine psychological skills workshop available for those experiencing performance difficulties.

Feed the post, shoot the 3

Is there a way Jerry Sloan and Co. can turn things around? There has to be an inside/out game like the Jazz of the past (Horny, Karl, John)—I wish they would feed the post in Boozer and either post it up, Pass to slasher, or dish out for the three. Although the Jazz have not proven their effectiveness on the perimeter, I feel with the right confidence Bell, Lopez, and Giricek have proven they can hit it.

Should the point-guard position be handled differently? I have no doubt that Sloan is the best coach in the NBA. He has proven this year after year. Therefore, with out being a fly on the wall I back Jerry 100% and agree with his decision to trade Arroyo. We need a point that has a "pass-first" mentality. the champion teams of the west all have this (Phoenix-Nash; Seattle- Ridnoir; and San Antonio-Parker). Arroyo was playing poor defense and looked for his shot too often.
