Well said. People were saying Jerry was over the hill for his last 10 years but it was still working. And a number of players from that era, including Deron, have publicly said he was the best coach and best teacher they ever had.

What if the next time they meet, Sloan forgets about things being smoothed out between them and goes after Williams?

The NBA innovated & progressed and the Jazz lingered in the past. Not Jerry's fault, he is who he is.

One can only hope. I'd still strangle the bastard given the chance, but that's just me.
If your idea of not being passive is bringing back the same exact roster three years in a row, while being bumped by the Lakers in successively less games each post-season, then make a big splash by replacing Boozer with Jefferson, then yeah, they were pretty ******* aggressive.

bullseye.
I like this, Deron was in the wrong and it's super obvious that he knows he ****ed up. There isn't anything more he can do at this point. I'd clap for him at the next game.

Jazz three-point attempts per game last 9 years of Jerry Sloan's coaching career.
So, by the time he left, he had his Jazz teams shooting twice as many threes as the last year of Stockton and Malone. But oh, boy. Too slow to adjust. Should've had us shooting 25-30 of them by the end of that decade. 5 seconds or less, baby!
Oh, but wait. Let's see where the Jazz ranked in opponent 3P%.
Yes, the Jazz were bad at one point, but we're not talking about that point. The team won 26 games one of those years and missed the playoffs both years. It was simply bad. It wasn't just the three point defense. The Jazz were middle-of-the-pack the last 4-and-a-half years. That's what we're talking about here, not 2005. We weren't great at it, but man, we were also 16th in that category last year. And not one person is saying Quin is this or that because we're 16th in opponent 3P%. EC Champions were behind us, too.
I have no idea what stuff some of you are actually remembering. If you even are. It's one thing to only watch games or only look at stats, but to spout ******** here having done neither is a disservice to all of us.

You need to stop. Deron has admitted he was in the wrong, apologized, was willing to meet face to face and apologize. Was he immature and arrogant at the time? Sure. Has he grown up realized, admitted, and apologized for his mistakes. Yes. It's unfortunate what happened at the time, but most people would not be so willing to admit to being wrong and apologize for it in the way Deron did.

It was who was/is better at this stage of their careers. NOT who would be better suited in today's NBA.
