Jerry Sloan = retired. End of an era.
The subject line just about says it all. I have mixed feelings. Jerry Sloan's coaching style (along with John Stockton and Karl Malone, of course) is a dominant reason why I became an *NBA* fan, not to mention a Utah Jazz fan. On the other hand, a coach's main job (so it seems to me) is to get the most out of the player personnel that you have, and over the past few months it seems like that hasn't been happening.
In other news, assistant coach Phil Johnson decided to join Sloan in retirement, passing up literally millions of dollars by turning down the head coaching job.
And so the head coaching job gets passed on to Tyrone Corbin. Best of luck to the Milk Man! (I still remember those commercials he made when he was a player here in Utah.)
