Jerry, on what he's planning on doing tomorrow night: "I'll be like a dizzy duck. You know what I'm talking about!"

Repped

Someone please give me an example where Williams has command over the team and front office...

Good call Viny. I take Jerry at his word that players did not play a role in this. Jerry is pretty straight in his interviews. He made a good argument that he has always had disputes with players. I don't Dwill has been the worst of those.

Interested to hear the player interviews.

Ladies and gentlemen, we just watched a wall of steel melt.

Driving home in Boston listening to this on my phone and trying not to crash cause my eyes are watering up...

In addition, Phil johnson is an amazing guy. Loyalty just doesn't exist like that anymore.

How freaking weird is it that he will never get Coach of the Year?

There's a difference between being "pushed-out" and not having full-support of management and ownership. Sloan's had players and teams turn on him before, and he can deal with that - but not if he doesn't have full support of the organization behind him. Sloan and Deron clashing at halftime isn't as big as Sloan and O'Connor afterward. Sloan knew what he was up against and realized he couldn't do his best in that situation - and he was right. Phil is as loyal an assistant and friend as one can have, and he wasn't going to take Jerry's seat (or look over Ty's shoulder) because he shares much of Sloan's coaching principles.

Sloan and Phil couldn't have been more classy or gracious in that press-conference. Personally it was hard enough for me to sit there and listen to Greg filibuster, and I can't imagine having to sit next go a guy who probably hasn't worked as hard in his entire life as Sloan has in one day and listen to him spout that stuff.

Jerry and Phil were two brilliant basketball minds and two even better people who the game of basketball will greatly miss.

He's got a date with Jack Daniels.

Interesting that KOC said there were always 3 guys who wanted to win more than him when he got to the arena and 2 of them are there. Larry was the third, no mention of Greg's true desire to win like Larry's, Phil's and Jerry's.

Corbin doing what I expected him to do, win me over.

The best coach to never get it, that's for sure.

I feel like I've lost a family member. I have criticized Sloan as much as anybody but this hurts down deep. Maybe it can be cured if the Jazz come out tomorrow and show us that they trust Ty and rattle off a few wins.
