I agree that he has been deserving of that COY award , and I think that he better get it this year for what he has accomplished with all these injuries . I too hope that he can go out with a title to his long list of accomplishments . I will stand by him for as long as he wants to coach the Jazz . Amen Scott , I think that most of us will miss him .

Coach Sloan has stuck to his guns and weathered times both good and bad. He still tries to teach the game and exhorts the teams to compete for a full 48 night-in and night-out. Whatever the results he never quits and never makes excuses. As for the Coach of the Year voters... they are all a bunch of (insert Coach Sloan's favorite sideline word here) and have gotten it wrong too many times to count. Coach should have at least 3 and more like 5 in all honesty! Some so-called Jazz fans (bandwagoneers) have said he is a dinosaur and that we need a new coach for the Jazz. I say let the man coach until he decides he has had enough. He has earned that right! Sadly, that day is approaching. We know he has signed another 1 year extension. I just hope he is able to go out on a winning note and not with the sour taste that must be in his mouth today. I know it is in mine. When he finally hangs up his hat. so to speak, this Jazz fan will sorely miss him. srchn I agree with the others who have responded to this fantastic post.

Sloan has no favorite players. Consider the fact that Carlos was dispatched to the bench in recent fourth quarters. Sloan may be the most objective coach in the league. He simply coaches to win, regardless of public or player opinion. The guy would be great as a juror - toally focused on the facts and outcomes and devoid of bias. Good points James!

You're right when you alluded to the fact that Sloan stands behind his players. If he thinks one of them was wronged then he will go to the point of getting kicked out to stand up for them. With most of the other coaches, when they argue with the refs it doesn't seem like it is because they think one of their players has been wronged, it is because maybe they won't get a certain point.

With all the superstar egos and firing coaches at the behest of players it is nice to have a coach that does cut through all the crap, tells it like it is and doesn't care about what ESPN, TNT, or anyone else says. The guy just wants to play ball and that is something that, in my opinion, a lot of "league elite" have long since forgotten. James….simply brilliant.

Really good read after that game last night. I feel like everytime he gets thrown out of the game he's saying what all us fans are thinking. What a great post.
