I'm sorry your security blanket is gone now, but there's more to interactions in a bad situation than being full-bore adversarial. You're being ridiculous.

How is this being ridiculous? Sounds like DWill killed a legend and ended a legacy, guy. Just saying. I mean, I love DWill's game, but the dude has an attitude problem.
 
Greg Miller on Dwill's involvement (not perfect, best of my memory)
I will never let a player make a personel decision

My poor short term memory probably didn't get it as strongly as Greg put it, but it was very clear that he would never listen to a player that tried to go over a coaches head, because it creates a monster.
 
It's not shocking that the tongue-tied, heart-string led fans are the ones that have no real comments on this situation but vote anyway.

Speak up, haters. I'd love to see your reasoning, or even your evidence that there's even a side to be on.
 
I think Sloan summed it up best when he said, "I'm not a young guy anymore and don't have the energy levels I used to have". Sloan use to have the energy to deal with the **** that a HC needs to deal with. I think he is just old and tired and realizes that it's not worth the hassle anymore. I don't think D-Will has been any worse than any other player on the Jazz has ever been or that Sloan has dealt with in the past. Sloan is just done and is smart enough to move on.

I would say Deron strong armed Jerry out via his ****** play over the last two months.

In December he averaged 23 & 9 on .479 .380 .842 shooting.

In January he averaged 21 & 9.5 on .457 .352 .868 shooting.

Dude comes to play more nights than everyone else on the team. Y'all will be singing a different tune when the team is filled with players with Big Al's heart.

So what's the story, guy? Do you know? Sloan just decided to hang 'em up?

We know JSLoan resigned. I'm guessing there were a lot of reasons, but I'm not homer enough to think DWill is the Golden Child and did no wrong. Sounds to me like he had a lot to do with it.

He gave the reasons. did you not listen? no one is claiming dwill to be a golden child, but if malone/stock/etc didn't run sloan out, then how in the hell can you believe dwill had the ability to run him out?

Sounds like that based on what? According to everyone in the organization, Sloan was tired and it was probably an immensely frustrating game. If something blew up, the only report I've seen is that Sloan wanted Deron forced out, not the other way around. If things like that were said on either side, I think it was heat of the moment and that the writing was on the wall. Sloan is tired, his methods are tired. He was going to stop sooner than later.

There is nothing wrong with accepting things, hoping for the best, and moving on.
