Tammy Sloan: "I just don't see him staying retired."

given the right circumstances, if he does come back to coaching basketball, I don't think it necessarily has to be as head coach of an NBA franchise

Completely agree. I think Sloan would be satisfied being an assistant where he still has an opportunity to teach, coach, and be around basketball. One other coach who has tremendous respect for Sloan is Doug Collins. Sloan was actually Collins' favorite player growing up and the two are good friends within the coaching ranks.
 
The best phrase I heard right after DWill was traded on national ESPN radio was that the Jazz front office used the toilet paper and then took a dump. The basketball analysts were absolutely dumb founded that the Jazz lost both an all star and hall of fame coach because of management's ineptitude.

Do you think the U ever contacted him?

You know I thought the same thing except I doubt he would want to recruit but I could see him being some kind of consultant or special asst of some type, not sure it would be college though. Who knows though he does have a history with Krystkowiak being a former player.
 
Trading D.Will wasn't such a bad thing. He can't carry a team on his own. Maybe he'll help the Nets get 35 wins. He might help attract a FA to NYC, but he wasn't going to bring a big FA to Utah. The Jazz needed to rebuild with or without D.Will, and they got three lotto picks to rebuild with.
 
I'd pay money to watch him coach the BYU football team. (Zing! OK, OK, I'm a Cougar fan but I couldn't resist.)

Except they didnt 'lose' DWill. They traded (due to management's abilities) and got more than they gave.

Sloan wasn't perfect.

But he wasn't nearly as bad as some of you make it sound.

You're right.

But his defects were enough to possibly make a difference between a title and no title (and sometimes contention and no contention).

The same could be said for players, but it's the coaches' job to minimize those defects.
