"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

The success of the Jazz in the future is 100% contingent on hiring Jim Boylen right now. You have to act fast because a lot of people are going to be after him right now. Salary should be at least what he is currently making with the Utes.

I wouldn't mind having that joker as an assistant coach. Boylen and Fess would make a great pair.

I'm happy to review your evidence to counter the statements by everyone involved. Obviously something happened to make him pull the trigger. But nobody forced Sloan out. It was 100% his decision. He knew he wasn't getting the job done. I commend him.

so the fact that he may have perceived that appeasing deron was a higher priority than doing what he thought was best as a coach had nothing to do with it? clearly he thought something was damaged beyond the point of repair for him to quit abruptly and in the middle of the season, and that's on the front office.

your reliance on statements from involved parties as objective fact are hilarious. nobody ever bends the truth to make themselves look better, right?

I thought I just heard Jerry say he was thinking about this for several days.

The suspend Deron scenario sounds plausible. But even if true, it doesn't speak poorly of the Jazz organization for not wanting to suspend Deron. It was Jerry's decision to go. He could have waited. He didn't. I don't have a problem with it. And I don't understand why people won't accept that.

Oh, I can accept it but I also don't take a press conference as gospel truth. Jerry earned the right to make his own decision, and yes, for the most part (Booner reference-seems appropriate), he did by leaving now but he probably will feel sick for doing what he preached to his players not to do: quit.

I'm not sure what Nadine's roll would have been.

The meat in their sandwich?

It actually wouldn't be a terrible hire as an assistant. Boylen is a good assistant coach, he is just a terrible head coach. Please hire him and save the Utes some money.

Oh, sure, Darren didnt cause this....this was strictly Jerry's decision.

Let us Jazz fans make our own incorrect conclusions, will ya?

I already linked a video that showed the cause of this.

See what I mean about idiotic? Who has said Deron has nothing to do with this?

Clearly. I agree.

I don't really care who you blame. But in the end, Jerry had the support of the organization (but probably not several players, but what's new) and he quit. Maybe that support wasn't quite what he wanted. So he quit. Maybe he wished all the players would just take orders and keep their mouths shut. So he quit. Maybe he wished they played harder. So he quit.

The bottom line is that nobody forced him out. He quit for reasons that only he knows. And probably he doesn't even really know. We rarely do.

Have a little respect, will you? Clearly Laker fans are still coming to grips with the fact that they're not going to get to defeat Sloan in the playoffs for the 4th straight year.

[MartyFunkhouser]

A new and different cougjunkie feud. I think this is the first cougjunkie v. donuthole battle. I've enjoyed it do far.

Sloan said his retirement had to do with fatigue, rather than conflicts with players or management.

"There’s just a feeling."

"Nobody pushed Jerry or Phil out," Miller said. "No players pushed him out, Kevin didn’t push him out, an aspiring head coach didn’t push him out and I certainly didn’t push him out.
