Strange post-game statements from Sloan and KOC

[JJ Rage]

A lot of cryptic sounding tweets from tribjazz and others.

Jazz's Sloan said postgame discussion involved assistants, GM O'Connor. Sloan took two Qs on chat, then said he'd only discuss game.

Jazz's Sloan said media would be informed Thursday about discussion between him and O'Connor.

Jazz's Sloan appeared shaken up after game. Said he had a conversation with GM O'Connor. Would not discuss it.

It's been too long and too taxing on your mind and body. Hang it up, buddy.

 

[Sneakers]

This... just does not have good vibes around it at all

Let the speculation begin..

-Jazz's Sloan has yet to speak with media. Been about 15 minutes. Longest wait of season.

-Worth noting that Jazz's Sloan is normally about fastest in league to speak postgame.

-Jazz's Sloan has still yet to come out for postgame interview. Been about 30 minutes since game ended.

-Jazz's Sloan appeared shaken up after game. Said he had a conversation with GM O'Connor. Would not discuss it.

I will say I noticed from the FSNUtah telecast that O'Connor (as he often is) was animated in the 4th qtr, quite often out of his seat after a basket to urging the Jazz to get a defensive stop. He definitely wanted this one...obviously a game Utah should have won.

Either Sloan is fired or retiring, a major trade has been made, or KOC is stepping down. This has to be one of those three things right?

 

[Biggs]

Johnson to take over for the rest of the year?

 

[NUMBERICA]

And I don't mean to make light of what might be a serious situation, either.

 

[Sneakers]

Wow, first that game and then this. What the hell

 

[NUMBERICA]

Poor KOC. Not allowed to do anything unless two of the owners and the coach say so, and then left on the hook when things don't go well.

Hopefully Sloan's okay.

 

[PearlWatson]

Uhhhhohhhh

 

[wangchung12]

It's either Sloan is taking a leave of absence (i.e. retiring) or Sloan gave the go ahead on a trade. Most likely the first one.

 

[Sneakers]

Why would Sloan be taking a major leave of absence the very day after he signed a 1 year extension?

 

[Biggs]

It's not a trade. Sloans dealt with plenty of trades, Jeff malone, Horny, Thurl Baily, Korver. He's stepping down, or got fired, but I don't think he got fired.

I hope something is being done. The team has been downright terrible for way too long, and it's only because
they aren't putting out the effort.

I am amazed that it has gone on this long and nothing is being said by the local media. There has to be a reason
for all of this crappy play.

Everyong knows it. I could hear it in the crowd tonight. The fans are extremely frustrated. They want to like this team,
but they can't like a team that is this pathetic.

 

[memo is money]

I smell a trade...

 

[Okur13]

Very. Very. Interesting. Guess we will have to wait til tommorrow

 

[Marty McFly]

I smell a trade...

No you don't.

 

[Sneakers]

Gaah I'm not going to get my hopes up for a trade.

There's no way in hell the Jazz fire Jerry. No way.
