I apologize for Jerry Sloan.
I am truly sorry, and very sincere.

By the way, did you know that Jerry Sloan is an honorary Sicilian?
He once saved a drowning boys life while on vacation in Sicily.
True story.

Then he promptly sat the boy on the bench for jackpotting around.

And unlike Sloan you'd loose a lot more games than you'd win. The only reason this might be tempting is that we would get to read a lot more crap like this on the board, except it would all be about you.

I simply don't see anything that Sloan does that is that special, and I see a lot that he doesn't do.

Just because some other NBA coaches coddle players doesn't mean not doing so isn't easy to do. And unfortunately Sloan has repeatedly shown poor communication skills which aren't taught in Coaching 101 but probably by the third semester.

The only thing that might take some time is learning the offense. Certainly I can get a hang of it faster than Al Jefferson is. And do you know how long it would take me to start benching players for not boxing out (which sounds like Sloan's strategy anyway)? A maximum of six minutes. It wouldn't be hard to actually do what Sloan claims to do but doesn't. Not much of a transition at all.
 
Ty Corbin will get offered a head coach job this offseason. When he leaves Scotty Layden will be the #1 assistant who hasn't publicly declared he will retire when Sloan Retires.

So if the current state of affairs wasn't bad enough, just try imagining Scott Layden as the head coach.

Dude, you just ruined my next few minutes. What a terrible thought that is.

I just felt like someone told me I have 2 days to live. I wouldnt put it past the front office though. Now that I think about it, they would NEVER get an "outsider" to coach this team.

The stupid thing is that our head coaching job should be one of the most coveted in the NBA. I mean, if you're a good coach you can stay here as long as you want, we don't really care about Championships or anything.

I am still holding out hope that Honacek gets a shot. For a while there it was pretty obvious he was being groomed for coaching spot. Then his work with the team kinda fell out of the public sphere. I would like to see what he could do with this team. I think he definitley has the respect of the players and the understanding of the game.

So true. You dont have to worry about going on losing streaks...winning championships. Just as long as you can make it to the first round and then lose...you're good to go.

A match made in heaven.
 
I've always loved Brown. He is a great coach. But we couldn't expect him to stay longer than two or three years given his history and age.

Not sure if I'd want that. But I think it's quite possible that he'd get more out of this team than Sloan.

I was wondering about that. Is he still working for the team?
 
Good, our championship HOF COY is staying home.

Let's retool the roster to fit his system. Sloan is the future.
