"I would listen," Sloan told Comcast Sports Net Northwest. "I haven't done the research on their roster, but I would definitely listen if they called."
After P.J. Carlesimo is fired Sunday, Deron Williams says the team needs a tough coach and endorses Jerry Sloan as a good fit for the Nets.
"I'd love to play for Coach Sloan again," he said.
Re: Deron Williams, Jerry Sloan share mutual interest in reunion
I think it's an awful idea for both parties. Why would Sloan want to coach the player who, by most accounts, was responsible for his departure in Utah? And why would D Will want to re hash a situation in which he was perceived as a coach killer?

$$$$ The same reason Phil came back to LA after writing in his book "Kobe is uncoachable".
Re: Deron Williams, Jerry Sloan share mutual interest in reunion
People are jumping to conclusion that Deron was driving Sloan out of Utah so quickly. Not saying this is not a possibility, but until the truth is fully revealed everything is possible. And even if Deron was the blacksheep, theres still a chance the two can make up. Remember how Kobe and PJ reconciled in 2006 after PJ called Kobe uncoachable in 2005?
Re: Deron Williams, Jerry Sloan share mutual interest in reunion
Doesn't sound like he is under consideration but Jerry won't take the job for many reasons. He pretty much said last year he's looking for the perfect situation which is the one he left in Utah. He's not getting another job where he is in complete control and can do wrong and not get fired. NY and Jerry and Deron?
