Utah Jazz coach, Jerry Sloan, has announced that he will retire after a total of 20 seasons as an NBA coach. Sloan's assistant coach, Phil Johnson, will also resign. Sloan, who is in the basketball hall of fame as a coach and is a former player with the Chicago Bulls and Baltimore Bullets, leaves in the middle of the season with his team on a 31-23 record and playoff run. Seems like something went wrong for a legendary coach as Sloan to leave in the middle of the season. Stay tuned.
I'm shocked to hear of his resignation after 23 years as head coach of the Utah Jazz. Nowadays, it's extremely rare for a player, manager, or coach to spend that much time with one organization. I can't believe how much the NBA has changed since he started coaching the Jazz. It will take a long time to get used to the fact he is no longer the head coach.
