Completely disagree. Williams has never thrown a player under the bus.

What about the playoffs when he called out the player who already had vacation plans (Kirilenko?). I think Kirilenko had a meltdown that next season from Deron's & Sloan's treatment of him.
 
I'm torn. On the one hand, Sloan's system, along with Stockton & Malone, is the main/only reason I became an *NBA* fan, let alone a Utah Jazz fan. On the other hand, it's the coach's job to get the maximum results out of the given player personnel... and I really feel that Sloan hasn't been doing that (for whatever reason) over the last few months.

At any rate: Best wishes, Jerry!
 
Jerry Sloan is resigning in part because of a strained relationship with Deron Williams, sources tell Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.
According to beat writer Brian Smith, Williams and Sloan have had multiple flareups this season. And after their latest one Wednesday night, Sloan decided to give it up after 23 seasons as Utah's coach. Wojnarowski notes that the ownership was listening more to Williams -- a free agent in the summer of 2012 -- more than Sloan. Williams may have only been willing to re-sign in Utah if Sloan was gone, making for a sad ending for one of sports' greatest coaches. Assistant Ty Corbin is set to step in as the acting coach with a deal to become the long-term coach possibly coming later.
 
Unbelievable. Feels a little bit like eating some bad seafood. A sad, sad day.

And Williams won't play a big part in the Jazz' future. He'll be jumping ship.

I dont trust Woj at all. His reporting is specious at best.

Quite honestly, this is GREAT news.

Not because we're losing Sloan. That's a nightmare.

It's great because every dumbass b-ball know it all Sloan hater is about to get owned.

Within 2 months we will lose 25% of posters, who happen to be the absolute WORST posters on this board.

Praise Jebus.

Rep +1
 
1 - Looking forward to Deron thriving under his own leadership, which as of lately, seems to suck ***.

2 - Really, really looking forward to the expert nimrods who will slowly fade into the background in the next few months.

Maybe Byron Scott will get COY after all.
