Jerry Sloan keeps it rolling for 20 years as Utah coach
Published 5/9/2008 at L.A. Times - Basketball
As the longest tenured coach in all of the major professional sports, he sticks to the bread-and-butter pick-and-roll system that has been so effective. He guides team against Lakers again tonight.

The Lakers were the only team to sweep their Round 1 opponent, doing away with the Denver Nuggets with relative ease.

The Lakers head to Utah with a 2-0 lead in their best of seven series. So far the Lakers are undefeated in the play-offs, and are playing with that swagger that borders on over confidence.
