Was it ever seriously in doubt that Jerry wouldn't return? I know he pretty much does it year-by-year at this point, but were any of the SLC news outlets claiming he was iffy on coming back before this was announced?
KOC gets extension, Sloan returning for sure
- Thread starter theonlyone
- Start date
Sloan takes just about 2 weeks or less to make up his mind. I am surpised that this became "official" only today.
He is usually ready to come back much before the draft of which he is a huge part of.

I often wonder who ends up replacing Sloan when he does finally retire/die. Phil Johnson is no spring chicken, so I suspect him to retire at the same time. Would Ty Corbin/Jeff Hornacek still be around? Can a replacement get a bunch of leftovers and second round draft picks to compete year-in and year-out?
Neh, he should go out like Don Nelson, apparently hanging out with people like Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson and drinking huge amounts of alcohol and smoking weed.

Hey R40 I was going to post a picture of some change for you but when google'ing "got change" I saw this pic and thought it was a better response.

Well said. He has done a great job. Everything you said i agree with and some of the things we take for granted.
Especially trading up to get Deron. That was the biggest.

I like what KOC has done. I felt like he waited way too long before we realized that Boozer and Okur won't work. Every fan knew it years go. But the front office did nothing.
But at the same time I really really like what we have now. First year I am excited for the season. First year I feel we have a chance to contend. I am not saying we can get past the lakers. But I do think we can take them to 6 or 7 games. I have never felt like we could since Boozer was here. Go KOC!
Sloan's offensive system is awesome. But his rotations are horrible and he does not develop players who are raw. Guys who are raw need consistent playing time. Doesn't need to be much. He should focus more on defensive match ups more than anything. He never matches them up correctly in my book. I think he is overrated as a coach defensively.
I also think Sloan plays our guys too much in the regular season. I think he needs to cut down some of there minutes and slowly build them up going into the playoffs.
But when its all said and done Sloan is a very good coach overall. I have my complaints but when you look at the rest of the league we are lucky to have Sloan. If we have to nit pick at Sloan than we are doing pretty good. I do think the system Sloan has set up is more important than Sloan's actual decision making during the season. Which needs to improve.
