[QUOTE]The Charlotte Bobcats have narrowed their list of head coaching candidates to Jerry Sloan, Brian Shaw and Quin Snyder, according to league sources. After going through an initial interview with Charlotte executives Rod Higgins and Rich Cho, each of the three candidates will meet with Bobcats owner Michael Jordan within the next week or so. ESPN.com
Sloan, Shaw and Snyder were chosen from a field of interviewees that included Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing, former Portland coach Nate McMillan, Golden State assistant Michael Malone, Cleveland assistant Nate Tibbetts, Charlotte assistant Stephen Silas, Memphis assistant Dave Joerger and St. John's University assistant Mike Dunlap. ESPN.com[/QUOTE]
You'd think if he wants it, it is his. McMillan isn't a finalist. All of Phil Jackson's assistants have failed. He might want to wait for a better gig though? I'd guess McMillan is.
Steve Kauffman represents Malone and Jerome Stanley reps Shaw and both have confirmed to CSNNW.com that the Trail Blazers have not called the Warriors or Pacers to seek permission. Our very own Dwight Jaynes reported earlier this week that Jerry Sloan has not been contacted by the Trail Blazers, either. CSNNW.com

Magic To Interview Malone, Shaw, Snyder, Vaughn For Coaching Vacancy
Jul 04, 2012 3:14 PM EDT
The Magic will interview Michael Malone, Brian Shaw, Quin Snyder and Jacque Vaughn for its head coaching vacancy, according to sources.
Rob Hennigan will likely conduct initial interviews over the next week.
Malone and Shaw have been candidates since Stan Van Gundy was fired.
Vaughn has been an assistant with the Spurs over the past two seasons.
Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan said he interviewed Wednesday for the Portland coaching job but has removed himself from consideration. Sloan said Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey flew to Salt Lake City to interview him. However, Sloan called the team Thursday to pull out.

Of course he does, would you publically piss off the fan base by saying you don't want Sloan as your coach? Better just to play it cool knowing it won't happen.
The Utah Jazz have had a preliminary discussion with Jerry Sloan about returning to the fold in an unspecified position. Twenty-six months after resigning from being the Jazz's head coach, the Hall of Famer is open to considering taking a role with his old organization to help the rebuilding franchise and his successor, Tyrone Corbin. Deseret News
"That's up to (them). That's a situation that's strictly up to Ty or somebody in the Jazz organization," Sloan told the Deseret News. "If they want me around, fine. If they don't, (fine). They'd talked to me a little bit about it a little bit earlier." Deseret News
Sloan didn't say whether or not an offer was made. Nor did he specify whether a possible return would be as a consultant, a coach or in the front office. The 71-year-old, who still lives in Utah, is very respectful of Corbin, his former assistant coach and player, and wouldn

The 71-year-old Sloan will take on a role of senior basketball adviser, mostly helping out with scouting on the professional and college ranks, among other duties.

The Utah Jazz announced tonight that the team will honor legendary former head coach Jerry Sloan in a special halftime ceremony when the Jazz hosts the Golden State Warriors on Friday, January 31, 2014, in a game that will be nationally televised by ESPN.

Their biggest rivals? I'd say Denver.
[QUOTE]A big-time shot by Diante Garrett sent the Jazz into halftime up seven and the emotion started pouring into EnergySolutions Arena. Halftime featured former Jazz players from Karl Malone and John Stockton to Howard Eisley and current coach Tyrone Corbin honoring Sloan. The team looked like it was honoring Sloan, but in the end the team couldn't win one for the former coach.
Sloan has a bunch of old reliable quotes that he used when games didn't go in his favor. He always said the Jazz couldn't "jackpot around," "can't play in tuxedos" and "no one is going to feel sorry for us."
Can't jackpot around
This idea is all about effort. Anyone who has listened to Corbin talk after games a common theme in Utah's losses is effort. The Jazz had the Warriors, were on the second night of a back-to-back, on the ropes.
The Jazz weathered the early run and Garrett sparked the Jazz to that big lead at halftime and the Jazz held on to much of that lead into the fourth quarter.
Then in the fourth the Warriors picked up their energy and outscored the Jazz 29-19 in the fourth. The short-handed Jazz were up nine when Rudy Gobert hit a pair of free throws. When Andrew Bogut and Steph Curry returned to the game the Warriors picked up their energy.
Golden State executed its offense at the end of the game, while the Jazz turned the ball over and forced bad shots.
Gordon Hayward and Trey Burke had horrible games. Their poor play might not have been about their energy, but they were certainly jackpotting around.

will Corbin stay on as the Utah Jazz head coach?
In the opinion of one Hall of Fame coach, the answer is a resounding affirmative. Jerry Sloan, revered by most everyone in NBA circles, leaves no doubt on his position relative to Corbin
