Strange post-game statements from Sloan and KOC

"John Deere"

"What Jerry Sloan will be riding into the sunset"

Thanks for your loyalty and hard work as a coach and your contribution to the game. You made us proud to be Jazz fans. Class act.

180 people online two hours after the game. Most aren't here to discuss the last Fes foul. Might as well keep the topic somewhat contained in a single place.

Wow. I'm udderly shocked and completely amazed.

It's like Bush saying we are on purple terror alert. Nobody really knows what that means, but it's kinda scary.

It really means nothing until whatever Deron decides when running the show. It will be AWESOME to have Deron as the sole reason for our tryumps/////


Ah hell, who am I kidding. Deron now takes the fall. Looking forward to his lame excuses.

This may be overreacting, but I don't think it's to early for Deron to trade himself to New York.

The sky has fallen.





I hope Deron gets his way, and if not, I hope he can coach us the a title. (bwahaahaaha)

There's no way in hell the Jazz fire Jerry. No way.

Dudes, its not Sloan. Didn't he just sign the extension?? It just doesn't make sense

Right after he signed a 1 year extension? Would he really step down after that?


No way Sloan gets canned.

Don't get excited people, nothing is happening. Making a major decision right after an emotional game is not the "Jazz" way, as it shouldn't be.

Prophetic!

This looks like a player disciplinary (suspension) action to me. I don't think KOC could fire Sloan and I don't think Sloan would have a heated meeting with KOC to tell him that he's retiring. No, this is "I told that sonofabitch to run this play and instead he broke it off, again. Either him or me!"

Ding!Ding!Ding! We have a winner!

Two sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that Sloan reacted angrily during Wednesday night's home loss when guard Deron Williams called his own play on the floor different from the play Sloan called from the sideline.

That led to an emotional dispute at halftime, sources said, which was followed by Sloan's closed-door meeting with O'Connor after the game.

But one source stressed that the play-calling flap was just one incident among a number of flare-ups in recent weeks, indicating Sloan's relationship with Williams has been deteriorating.
