I think that's probably what happened.

Possibly, I doubt he would join another team now anyway. The man is 68 years old and being a head coach is a stress on your mental health and family. He might not have a ring but anyone who knows an ounce of basketball will know how great he was/is as a coach.

Things changed for Sloan in Utah with passing of late owner Larry Miller. He could always get Miller to spend on players when it was needed.

Still, end of an era.

All AK47s are weapons, it's probably just really hard to get a permit to use them since they are so dangerous. Duh.

Didn't he just sign a contract extension earlier this week? Thats strange.
