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

[vslice02]

To me this makes perfect sense and only further confirms my previous thoughts on the situation, as well as validates the initial reports by Adrian Wojnarowski.

In 2003, the entire organization (including John Stockon, Larry Miller, and Kevin O'Connor) publicly denied reports that Mark Jackson attempted to lead a lockerroom revolt against Stockton as the team's starting PG. Thank goodness Jazz fans didn't implicitly believe the organization then, either. There is such a thing as PR after all.

Actually the way Malone just happened to be at the game right after Sloan quit, and the fact that he was fully prepared to make his pitch to be a coach, makes me wonder if there wasn't more warning of Sloan's retirement than we think.

Also, I don't know what this means exactly, but some said that Ty wasn't their first choice for coach. No clue what that means though or who they would want instead?

Oh thats just great. "The players" can force a coach out and it's only logical that they have to vote one in. Frickin' 21st century NBA.

Who the hell was their first choice? Scott Layden? Phil Johnson? Gary Briggs? haha

Hornacek? Maybe someone outside the Jazz?

After watching the first game of Sloan not being around... looked like they had abandoned the system. This seems plausible folks.

Or maybe, he was tired of it all (Yes, Dwill, yes losing, IT ALL). So hard to believe? jebus crybus people. Everything doesnt have to be so deep.

Hornacek? Maybe someone outside the Jazz?

Why does everyone think an ex-player with zero coaching experience should become the head coach next year?? Kinda absurd ...

I really do get tired of hearing how he may have been forced out. HOW? Forced out is fired. What was he saving by resigning. Face? This is Jerry ****in Sloan we're talking about. Come one. Why not say **** you Greg, this is the way it's going to go. Greg then says, **** you Jerry, you're fired. Jerry goes home with the millions he's already banked and calls it a day. Forced out my ***. Give it a rest already.

****, I was late with this post, looks like you've all moved on to rookie coach, Malone's not a coach, let that go too.

Hope this is not true but it sounds real and it is the only type of story that explains why Phil left. Crying for management to bail him out is total bush league. Man up Deron.

I have posted this in another thread, but I have a source from in the organization that I talked to and he reiterated most of this to me. Deron and Sloan were at eachother all season long at every practice, every game and constantly arguing. The rest of the team was extremely uncomfortable with it. The fights were quite bad at times. One of the players told my source that he couldn't believe Deron was allowed to act the way he was.

They said nothing of management being called in but it sounds likely. All of the players are still in shock and want Jerry back. Also, I don't know what this means exactly, but some said that Ty wasn't their first choice for coach. No clue what that means though or who they would want instead?

lol. whatever. fuel to the fire I guess.

It's hive mentality in these here parts.
