I thought he just signed a one year extension. Did I imagine that?

Pretty weird if he signed an extension only to step down.

The northwest division will be a strange place without him.

Definitely the end of an era.

Steve Holman says he is hearing Deron Williams is part of reason for resignation.

I thought he signed an extension too.

Thanks... Somebody had to say it.

 

[zjcvols]

Why? I'm confused.

 

[MadcapLaughs]

I thought he signed an extension too.

Jerry West implied on espn that he resigned because of Deron Williams. I thought they got along? Guess DW wanted more control over the offense.

They should just do away with the Jazz.

Another one denied by Michael Jordan.

Yes, he just signed a contract extension prior to this. Local talk radio had been hinting about a possible retirement this year. Williams, in a press conference today, said he had no part in it. Sloan agrees strongly.

Every player and coach are going to have words at some point. It's nothing new. I can't believe people are actually blaming Williams.

This of course leaves us wondering what's to become of Utah. They have a much harder time landing/holding on to free agents than everybody else.

I have a feeling that unless the Association considers some rule changes to help with those sorts of things, Utah could be non competitive for a long, long time as soon as Deron Williams moves on.

Sloan said today he had no intention of coaching again. 23 years with the Jazz, that's pretty damn amazing.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

He will be missed by all in the coaching community.
