Comments about ‘Utah Jazz, Sloan appear headed for extension’

"The extension is expected to be for one or two years, per Sloan tradition, though it will not preclude him from again considering retirement every offseason."

Please go. Just go and leave us alone.

I'm totally sick of Sloan. This year, we'll get the 8th spot in the playoffs again and get booted in the 1st round - this is what the Millers seem to settle on. Please, someone else buy the Jazz and fire Sloan.

Pleeeaaasssssse . . . .stop Greg Miller from offering Sloan another contract.

Why not just make him "coach for life". 0 Titles, he's gone this far and never won anything. Popovich who has won something like 4 Titles and is the second longest tenured NBA coach. Who cares, Jerry wants to make his record so hard to reach nobody ever will come close..... until Sloan retires and the next (who ever that may be) Jazz coach goes for the record. Good to see mediocrity is still alive a well in Utah.

Please no. just in my nightmare could happen.

weaknesses.

1. He seems to be experimenting more with combinations. They don't always work but he is trying to play match ups and keep the best combinations on the floor. He deserves credit.

2. He is slow to develop players but he is good at taking low round players and turning them into decent players. But his projects cap the progress of the Jazz as they are still flawed but average (sometimes above) players.

3. There needs to be more players with athletic ability. The Jazz are to slow. Sloan has a bias in favor of work ethic over talent.

4. He is not a very good game coach. He could call more timeouts. Sometimes he refuses to adjust when he should.

5. His bias against using the outside shot as a weapon hurts the Jazz. If he recruited players who could shoot and designed plays for them the outside efficiency would go up.

6. He has more game experience than any other coach. However, his biases prevent him from adapting and innovating when he should.

7. If he ever gets the right combination of players he may win a ring.

8. His player management needs improvement.

No more Jerry, please.

Why?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

different year.

that would be bad news to keep grumpy old sloan. he is go grumpy he complains even when the jazz win. bring horny to coach or be a assistant coach. sloan is bad..........................

My favorite Jazzman: Jerry Sloan

If this happens I will not renew and I know of about 30 others that won't. Give me a break. More of it's the players fault not mine because I don't know how to coach defense, or I don't know how to substitute, or my language is so bad that nobody can sit within 40 yards of me. I will do it and hopefully everyone will send a message to miller and o'conner that they won't put up with it anymore. Go to the farm and yell at the cows and leave the development of young players to someone from this century

I am so tired of your constant complaints about Coach Sloan. If any one of you has been a coach for 20 years, or in the Hall of Fame - then YOU have a right to criticize. Otherwise - find something else to do with your time - and find another team to support.

Jerry return to the farm and plow the field with a horse. Just the way you coach the team, old school.

wow, I thought Greg Miller at least will have balls to end this dinosaur era in Utah. Jazz will never ever win NBA with Sloan as a coach. He is outdated, to stubborn to change and just doesn't have it. Obviously Jazz management is just happy to sell tickets, make playoffs and make some profit. Winning it all is not their preference for sure. That's why Boozer is still stinking for the Jazz, that's why Sloan is still there. Any coach with self respect would have retired after last years debacle. Not mister Sloan, he thinks it was not his fault obviously...Where is his favorite players from last year Knight, Collins? Out of NBA right! Time for him to follow!!!

BJ- I am with you, but don't try arguing with these "fans" that are so ignorant and know nothing about basketball. I, and others like yourself, have tried but blindness cannot be corrected. Just know that we sane people, who respect what our hall of fame coach provides, simply choose to sit quietly and let the cry babies whine about Sloan being the problem. Ignore the moronic rantings and take solace in the fact that Sloan will be here to guide the team despite the senseless and brainless ruminations of an uninformed minority.

Play Fess only few minutes in the first game showing Sloan weakness. He only plays those so-called benched players when he was forced to play them because of he injury of other players.

The Suns felt the same way a few years ago and let D'Antoni go, because they wanted to stop being a running team and decided to make a coaching change. What happened? The Suns went down hill fast, fired the coach and hired a coach that was with D'Antoni and they started to run the same plays that D'Antoni was running.
My prediction for this year is that the Jazz will be in the 3rd Spot and the reason will be Sloan, because D-Will, believes in this system and the others will follow.
Go Jazz!

"Minority"?

huh?
