It'd be criminal if Williams did push Sloan out. As good a career as Williams is putting together, he simply doesn't have the resume at this point to command such power with the Miller family, which owns Utah's only pro franchise.
Here's what we heard on that front: Williams was pushing behind the scenes to get more playing time for C.J. Miles and other younger players, while Sloan was committed to continue going into battle with veterans he trusted, including Raja Bell and Andrei Kirilenko. His trust in Kirilenko was met with the rolling of eyes by some players, who noted that Kirilenko milked injuries and liked to take an occasional game off.
So because you read it, it makes it true?
Call that Exhibit-Q of Jazz players not buying into the system. Exhibit-R is as a team, the Jazz are on pace to shoot more threes than they have in the past 15+ years. Bad shooters shooting alot of bad shots (not that 3's are bad, but too many of our 3's are the result of poorly executed half-court sets) and you have the worst Jazz offense since 2005-06.
