Should the Jazz name the arena after Jerry Sloan?

[pappyman]

He is the Utah Jazz. I think that it would be the ultimate honor to do this for him. He deserves something like this. Thoughts?

no, the arena should be named after Larry Miller with the court named after Sloan IMO

That would be kinda weird.

[dukejazz=totalretard]

im pretty sure the countless advertising dollars spent by energy solutions corp suggests the name won't change anytime soon.

They should rename it after this season's team: The "Sometimes Have Energy, but No Solutions Arena."

They could still call it "Jerry Sloan Arena by Energy Solutions" or something like that. I just think that something of this type of magnitude needs to happen for Jerry.

You guys have got it all wrong. You know how the best bench player is always the Subway Sub of the Game. Well how about the worst sub being awarded the "Jerry Sloan Irrational Sub" of the game.

How long before they announce a statue of him is going to be erected? What number do they retire in his honor?

Fixed.

I think some teams have named the floor or the actual court after a revered figure so they could keep the revenue from the sponsors like ES. I could see that happening. If Larry were still here I could guarantee you Jerry would get a statue, with Greg I am not so sure, although Gail is still around so maybe she has some pull to continue Larry's legacy. I think Sloan has earned at least what Stock and Malone did. Hard to separate the three of them and do any one of them justice.

I like this.

what number do they retire in his honor?

69. Has to be.

 

[LogGrad98]

I think they retire number 23, the number of years he was head coach.

I wonder if they just put his name with Frank Layden on #1?
