Game Ball

Posted by Johnathan Kendrick on November 19, 2008

Before the Jazz vs Bucks game on November 19th, the Jazz honored Coach Jerry Sloan with a quick pregame presentation. During the presentation, Larry H Miller presented Jerry Sloan with the game ball from the Jazz vs Thunder game played November 7th. You’ll remember that when the Jazz won that game, it gave Jerry Sloan 1000 victories as coach of the Utah Jazz. Something no other NBA coach had ever done with one team.

Fans in attendance received a numbered commemorative 8” x 10” glossy card to mark the occasion, sell on e-bay, or use to prove they attended the game two weeks after Coach Sloan achieved his historic accomplishment.

Jerry needs to get more recognition as a top coach. Has he even won a coach of the year?
Good to see him getting some props!

I just want to say that Jerry is the statue of fidelity. He came up 21 years ago, and he will never step down. His heart gonna stop beating first than he leaves Jazz. He is so valueable, someone that stands always there, someone that always makes the team play like team, a team that has only once been under .500 since he named head coach. A team that never won NBA title. A coach that never won a Coach of the Year. I searched some ont he web, just to fin any coach in any sports to have 1000 wins with one team. I found only one. David Porter, a women tennis coach, who just won his 1000th game with her talents. And you know what? He is the coach of Brigham YOung University:P UTAH and JAZZ forever

“or use to prove they attended the game two weeks after Coach Sloan achieved his historic accomplishment….” Hilarious.

Bummer that I didn’t attend either time.
