For the folks that can't forgive DWill say what you will - you'll never, ever, ever, ever see an interview from Gordo as contrite as this.
In fact, if anything, D-Will overdid it a little bit - Sloan shares some of the blame for what happened. Clearly D-Will is being the bigger man knowing that Jerry might be approaching the end.

Sloan was definitely not keeping up with the changing offensive systems and the evolving use of the 3 pt shot. I personally hated how the Jazz defended the three point line. I haven't put much blame on Deron for anything other than his rapid decline. When you consider what Sloan was able to accomplish, both in terms of sustained production offensively and team success, it's hard to reconcile that with the fact he just sucked at adaptation. He was definitely "old school"; that dog couldn't and didn't want to learn new ways/tricks. Fact is, he needed to be gone. He did deserve an honorable sendoff.

Jerry let him off the hook!! He is who we thought he was. Nothing has changed for me. The devil will get my love long before that little bitch does!!
I’ve always maintained that Sloan vs. Deron was a false dichotomy and not nearly enough (any?) attention was focused on the real crux of the issue: the passive front office dealings of Greg and KOC that arose in the vacuum of Larry’s death.

Gotta love the historical revisionism here. The over-the-hill, already demented, didn't-like-the-three, hall-of-fame coach had us at 27-13 and on pace to win 55 games before Deron checked out and a few weeks later ultimately caused all the **** he caused. Tied for third in the west and 5 games ahead of the NY Knicks, coached by that modern-day Naismith and inventor of the three point shot(and a 0-time NBA champion) Mike D'Antoni.
The Jazz at that point were 17th in the league in 3PA and 18th in 3PM. Solidly middle of the pack. The Jazz were also 8th in the league in opponent 3P%.
But yeah, let's all remember how the Jazz were playing a 4-corners offense back in 2011.
