It looked to me he had gotten by the defender in the middle of a clear path to the hoop when the whistle blew and half a second later the shot was up. No one stopped playing. No one has that good of a reaction time. He would’ve scored.

I think he was in the act of calling timeout as it looked like Sexton was cut off with no where to go Hardy had to run out on the court just to get the refs attention. So I don’t think it was silly. He saw his guy trapped called time, Sexton got untrapped and by the time Hardy got the refs attention the ref blew the whistle just as Sexton got free. I myself didn’t think Sexton would get that open.

The Jazz basket at the time was near his front-row seats. "I found myself being too distressed about a couple of our guys' performance, and I didn't want to holler something harmful to them," he said. "That would have been stupid. Instead, I went to the other corner and hollered something stupid."

Miller yelled to Sloan, "We've got some guys that didn't show up tonight. I put a couple of other words with it," he said. "He didn't hear me the first time. I repeated it. My exact words referring to those who hadn't showed up: `They should be on the bench.' "

Is this meant to be a non-sequitur?

It's an example of Larry Miller coming over to the Jazz bench during a game and yelling at the coach, similar to the hypothetical scenario SojoDave imagined in his post.

Was Sloan fired? Or was there any indication whatsoever that that was ever even discussed or uttered otherwise?

Have a good one y’all.
