Jerry Sloan passes away

[Mainstreet]

Rest in Peace Jerry Sloan. Thanks for all the memories.

Here is part of the statement:

“Our Hall of Fame coach for 23 years, Jerry had a tremendous impact on the Jazz franchise as expressed by his banner hanging in the arena rafters. His 1,223 Jazz coaching wins, 20 trips to the NBA Playoffs and two NBA Finals appearances are remarkable achievements. His hard-nosed approach only made him more beloved. Even after his retirement, his presence at Jazz games always brought a roaring response from the crowd.


“Like Stockton and Malone as players, Jerry Sloan epitomized the organization. He will be greatly missed. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Tammy, the entire Sloan family and all who knew and loved him.”

R.I.P. He is synonymous with the Utah Jazz. If not for his diagnosis he probably would still be coaching.

Rip amazing coach

Terrific player for the Bulls through most of the 1970s. It's almost too bad that he seems to be only remembered for his stint as the Jazz coach.

RIP.

RIP.

I choose to remember him as a strong player, I could never stand him as a coach. RIP Jerry.
