Jerry Sloan didn't think his Jazz tenure would last long. Twenty years later, the longest tenured pro head coach in the U.S. basks only in effort, not accolades, J.A. Adande writes.

Back-to-Back Trouble You can expect the Jazz to lose at least one game of a back-to-back when they play two days in a row. They’ve been consistent in losing the 2nd game of the back-to-back this season. So far, the Jazz have played in 8 back-to-back games. On the first back-to-back set, the Jazz beat Sacramento, only to lose to Minnesota ...

Most of the quotes are the same, and they're classic Sloan-isms.
I can't speak for all of TBJ here, but my thoughts on Sloan have really changed over the last 12 years (my time as a true Jazz fan). He was the ROCK of the organization, the same way that LaVell Edwards was at BYU, or Bobby ...

I don't know how the Jazz came away with a win in Minnesota last night and I don't care why. A win on the road is a win on the road, especially for the Jazz and especially when its against Minnesota. (How pathetic is that? The Jazz should be hammering this team but instead are just squeaking out a win they did not deserve and we are greatful for it.) It was an ugly game with no flow because the refs thought it would be better to call a foul every other time the ball crossed mid court regardless of what team it was. Thank goodness Kevin Love sucks at the free throw line. Bottom line is that the T-Wolves lost this game more than the Jazz won it. Just look at these ...

boston.com 12/14/2008 — They say records are made to be broken. But with 1,010 wins with the Utah Jazz, it will be virtually impossible for anyone to come close to Jerry Sloan's growing NBA record for coaching victories with one team. Sitting a distant second on that list is ...
