发帖数: 50662 | 1 KSL has learned that Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and assistant coach Phil Jo
hnson will resign at a press conference 3 p.m. at the Zions Bank Basketball
Center in Salt Lake City.
More details will be posted as they become available.
The news comes after the Jazz lost to Chicago in Salt Lake City on Wednesday
, where former Jazz players Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer helped the Bulls e
scape Utah with a 91-86 win.
After the game, Sloan didn't come out of his office for a postgame interview
until about a half-hour after his team lost for the 10th time in 14 games.
The Hall of Famer, who usually talks to reporters about 10 minutes after the
final buzzer, had been in a discussion with general manager Kevin O'Connor.
"We just had something we had to discuss," Sloan said, "and we'll talk to yo
u all later on about that." A major part of the discussion, however, was the
possibility of a trade in the works.
Sloan had signed a one-year contract extension on Monday that would have kep
t him in Utah through the 2011-12 season. He has 23 seasons of service with
the Jazz, making him the longest-tenured coach in any of America's four majo
r sports. |
