Sloan: Malone, Stockton Did All the Work
”You don’t get here without a lot of help from a lot of people,” said Jerry Sloan, who is the longest tenured coach in major professional sports.
Entering his 22nd season coaching the Jazz, Sloan likes to say his 1,137 victories — including 1,043 with Utah — are as much a product of longevity and having good players as anything he has done as a coach.
”I don’t want to step in John and Karl’s way. They’re the ones that did all the work. They’re the ones that probably helped keep me here, along with Larry Miller,” Sloan said. ”I certainly don’t want to take anything away from them by me tagging along. I tagged along for a long time.”
