Where is Jerry Sloan? - Message Board Basketball Forum

Has he even done one interview since he left the Jazz? Still freakin' sucks that he leaves and then Deron Williams leaves. That just made no sense. If the Jazz knew they were going to trade Deron Williams then why wouldn't they just tell Sloan to wait it out a couple more weeks?

Any chance he might return to the Jazz or maybe coach another team? Imagine him coaching the Clippers right now with CP3/Griffin. He always seems to coach a team well with a good PF/PG combo. Malone & Stockton, Williams & Boozer. Would make sense for him to coach CP3 & Griffin if he were to come back.

He looked tired and burned on his last season. Maybe retirement is the best option for him.

I imagine he's got a beer in hand riding a big ass John Deere in Idaho or somewhere. But pretty sure I've read that he'd be open to coaching again but he's not gonna become one of those names in a hat retreads, all the pieces would have to fall into place to make a good fit.

Someone gave me a neg for asking where Jerry Sloan is? Seriously?

The guy's like 70 already. He's probably enjoying himself with his grandkids.

God I sure hope not. It's exciting to hear that Ty is making changes to the offense and especially the D. Looking forward to something new finally. Long overdue!

Sounds like he might want to. I'd like to see it. Or for Phil to get a head job and him be the lead assistant this time.

Except they wouldn't want to play for him just as Deron didn't anymore.

He was in Utah last night watching a High School game. He has mentioned missing coaching (the article is somewhere on www.sltrib.com). I don't think we will see him in the NBA again though, he is too old for that shit.
