Pillow Talk: Inside Source Anne Johnson ( Phil Johnson`s wife)

I don't understand how any of this can be considered "pillow talk." You got me all excited for nothing.
 
Sounds about right. If made up, it was a good quality story.
It's too bad they didn't trade Deron before it came to this, it would have been better for everyone.
Selling the team to Malone doesn't sound so far fetched right now.

Pillow talk between her and Phil you perv. I doubt she was in the locker room and found all this out. She has gray hair wears glasses and puts her hair in a bun. Not my type.

It wasnt just about the benching. She said this fight was the climax about everything that had been happening the past few weeks. What I found most interesting is that Jerry Made the decision and told the managment he was done at halftime and went and coached the 2nd half of the game. That could possibly be why people thought he was joking and he was going to be back.

This I believe. Jerry says, "I quit" and KOC/Miller come running. If Jerry told Deron he was benched my guess is Deron would have said "fine." He'd be a good soldier but the message would get sent to management that **** was serious.

Love you, Mr. Shelby, but I'm pretty sure the "good soldier" argument re: Deron is dead.
 
The story makes sense to me.
Kindof lame though that the front office people would take a players side over the coach's on an issue after all these years even if the player is D-Will.
Makes me wonder if KOC just does whatever the owner wants, and Greg is that much more different than Larry was. Wasn't Sloan choked up during the press conference until Greg started to speak, then he looked a bit more firm?

I miss Larry, and now I miss Sloan and Phil.

I do think D-Will wants to win, and thinks he's the smartest basketball mind in the world, so I can see it going down like that.
Now I'm bugged at D-Will again.
Great.

Not 'good soldier' in the traditional sense. Deron would sit on the end of the bench being benched like he was told. He knows what a public relations quagmire that is so he doesn't have to say anything about it. The effect is Jazz dirty laundry gets aired in public. And since he wants Sloan to leave, and the controversy can only help, why not let that happen? It furthers his agenda while he hasn't done anything affirmatively wrong (besides whatever got him benched which, in this case, is breaking a play.)

KOC and Miller wouldn't want any of that. Either Sloan saying he's quitting or Deron getting benched. But does anyone really think they would OVERRIDE Sloan's decision to bench Deron if that's what Sloan really wanted to do? No way. They persuaded him to finish out the game and sort everything out.

But again: Deron is too smart not to know the potential fallout of crying for management in this case.

Ive had the privilege of being able to meet Anne a few times and even go to Jazz games with her (she has 4 tickets 12th row behind the visitors bench)


My Grandma and her have been friends for about 15 years now (since my grandma opened up a beauty supply shop)

Today, my grandma called me and told me that Anne was in her store today and they were talking. Anne started to tear up. She said that the team had had quarrels for the past 3 weeks at every practice and at every game. As for the incident during the Chicago game, she said that Deron and Sloan had been at it for a few weeks prior to this arguing about how the team should be ran. She said that neither of them would bend for one another. She said during halftime of the Bulls game that Sloan said he was going to bench deron and then Deron called in the management during halftime. And it set sloan off, and thats when he made the decision.

She said that the players wouldnt buy into the system Jerry was trying to teach them.


So basically. Its the players fault for prompting Jerry into an Early retirement.

Believe me or not. I went to 3 games with her and my grandma last season.

I didnt want to post anything until I or my grandma had a chance to talk with her.
