I just heard this on the radio. Any other sources? This makes me pretty sad. But may be a step in the rite direction?

I can not believe this ****. What a way to go. After 23 seasons, he leaves before the all-star break. HOLY *****!

the championship is ours to lose now!

This doesn't make any sense coming after the reported extension. Who takes over now?

There must have been a real ultimatum made last night. Where KOC wanted Jerry to play certain players and Jerry said "make 7up yours."

Otherwise, why would the Jazz have offered him an extension just a few days ago and why would he have signed it? If the jazz had planned on going in a different direction, then they wouldn't have offered him the extension. If Jerry had doubts on whether he wanted to continue, he wouldn't have signed.

Something ugly happened last night.

Somewhere, Dan Issel is probably smiling.

KSL has learned that Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and assistant coach Phil Johnson will resign at a press conference later Thursday.

Sloan and Johnson? Who the hell is going to coach the team???
