Re: Jerry Sloan steps down, leaves Utah Jazz! Era is over!
[QUOTE=InspiredLebowski]Why is Stein's source better than the Jazz beat writer's? Because he works for EsPN? Because it supports your point of view?[/QUOTE]
I don't even care who gave the ultimatum. If Williams was making things so difficult that Sloan was inclined to retire rather than having to spend another minute with him, it shows me the kind of person that we are dealing with, here.

Anyone who doesn't realize this is Deron's fault...put in like 10 minutes of googling and read Jazz fans/beat writers blogs/twitter. And you'll see it's obviously on Deron.

If you watch his interviews in most loses, he was always the most pessimistic person and he gave small implies that he didn't like what Sloan was doing.

Is that really a big deal? Of course they had arguments.

Anyone that has ever played any sport on any level has had clashes with their coach. It happens. For things to get to this point with arguably the most respected man in the business, you have to be a real piece of work.

Or the coach has to be very old and have little energy like he did when he was in his younger years.
Re: Jerry Sloan steps down, leaves Utah Jazz! Era is over!
Or D-will like almost all of the AAU athletes, need to realize that hey! they're COACHED for a reason.

What does 'energy' have to do with a guy who is so out-of-control that he dismisses the most respected head coach in the game and calls his own play in the waning seconds of a heated game? You're right, though... It takes a lot of energy to deal with d0uchbags.

The AAU-ification of the NBA has really taken another large step today. The inmates are now completely running the asylum. It won't be long before Williams is forcing his FO to deal him to a team where he can play with his buddies.
SMH

VERY VERY few of the AAU athletes are even likable. It's all part of the God complex they get from being good at basketball in high school. The success gets to their head, they love having the attention/world revolving around them./one too many basketball documentaries.
And I agree LeBron is one thing. Amare alright he had a reason. Deron? WTF! Melo's being at least an open douchebag about this.
