I'm going to say it first: Brad Jones is Lindsey's guy. Proven coach in the D-League who was extremely successful and well-liked by his players. Highly-respected by both the Spurs and Jazz organizations, having coached the Flash before going to SA and winning a championship with their D-League team. Also the nephew (by marriage) of Jerry Sloan. I think his hiring was forced upon Ty. I just don't see it happening otherwise. Lindsey brought him over, he's developed a working relationship with the young players. I don't see Jerry returning to the bench, but as a consultant, he'd be very willing to help Jones (and I think Brad would welcome his advice). I think this is one of the reasons Lindsey was willing to let Hornacek move on without making a change for this season. He already has his COTF sitting on the bench.
