Deron blaming everyone else is still a problem that wont be solved with Sloan leaving. It's pretty obvious this is true about DWill, both in his body language and his quotes.
Being a "competitor" and "a guy that just wants to win" is not the same as being a leader. IMO, Dwill is not the leader he is paid to be. More Brandon Roy than Steve Nash.
I'm a huge Williams fan but teams that put players ahead of coaches never succeed.....
Please let Corbin be the coach and Hornacek be an assistant.
I'm surprised that the discord didn't leak out sooner.
Completely disagree. Williams has never thrown a player under the bus.
It's much easier to replace a coach then it is to replace a Star.
Not sure if anyone else posted... but heard that press conference will be at 3 on kfan... can listen to stream at https://radiotime.com/WebTuner.aspx?StationId=32697&
Williams has never thrown a player under the bus.
No. It sounds like their was a disagreement between KOC and Sloan. Since AK was at the meeting too, can we assume he is on his way out?
hmm... KOC was telling Sloan that they're trading AK because Greg Miller doesnt want to pay the tax & Sloan got pissed & said if this happens, me & Phil are out ????
Completely disagree. Williams has never thrown a player under the bus.
Stockton and Malone were great, great players. Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson were JazzBasketball.
Since 1981, the Utah Jazz had been the only franchise in professional basketball where ownership cared more about the head coach than the players. With Larry Miller gone, that is no longer the case. The equation is now Deron>Sloan. The new equation will be Deron>new head coach. Whether you think that is a good thing or a bad thing, the direction Greg Miller and Kevin O'Connor are steering this franchise is quite clear. The organization is now no different than the Indiana Pacers. I have my own strong opinions, but only time will tell if that will prove to be a wise move. The 2003-04 season was termed the "New Utah Jazz," but 3PM on February 10, 2011 will mark the real beginning of the "New Utah Jazz" era.
like the disaster that ensued when Jordan forced the Bulls to fire Doug Collins?
Completely disagree. Williams has never thrown a player under the bus.
Why would the Utah fanbase take Sloan side over Williams? IN this situation, Sloan has been given 23 years to produce. He has stayed consistent but has gotten worse the last few years. The writing has been on the wall that the players have been tuning out Sloan. Its almost as though some Jazz fans want Sloan as head coach and dont care about the players.
