Head Coach Jerry Sloan to resign today :(

[dipship31]

NBA.com has it up and I'd assume ESPN will be buzzing soon

Still no stories or announcements on the major sport networks.

ESPN will put a rumored Melo to the Lakers discussion on its front page, but Jerry Sloan resigning? Nah.

Well said. LIke I said...I am definitely conflicted. I am definitely sad. I never had ill will towards Coach Sloan. But this had to happen...

I think I am more sad because of how it happened then him actually resigning...this might have had to happen but definitely not in this way

This is a travesty if it's on the players pushing out Sloan. I have tickets to tomorrows game, and I'm telling you right now...without Sloan or Phil on that bench it's going to be a sad sad thing....

I have no difficulty being dispassionate about this. Guy was an excellent coach. Great person. The teams were reflections of him. But he's just not going to get us to the promised land. And deep down everybody knows that.

From ESPN:

Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan is expected to hold a news conference on Thursday afternoon to discuss his future with the team, the Salt Lake Tribune reported, amid a separate media report that Sloan is about to announce his resignation.

Locke is having a cow. He did not have the slightest inkling that Sloan was considering this. Then he went on to talk about how, as Locke spent time with Hot Rod, Hots started to dislike his job. Perhaps it was Locke spending time with these guys that pushed them over the edge?
