Everyone was a bit confused when Jerry Sloan turned abruptly resigned Thursday. After 23 years as head of the Utah Jazz, something seemed ... Off.

Fans and media are not alone in feeling that way. One of the most legendary players Sloan felt it too. Karl Malone was in Utah and spoke to journalists to resign in the Salt Lake Tribune Sloan.

To cite Malone's money: "I will say I know my coach, I know, my coach and I know that my coach and I know all these coaches, the coach, I know, and the man I know , never left or resignation ..... nothing is what I say. "

When pressed on this point, "said Malone," What I said what I said. I know, Jerry Sloan. And people who know him know, that would be the next man to withdraw or not never quit if you do nothing. I do not like what it is. "

What that means is necessarily open to interpretation. But it is not hard to read between the lines. Malone has promoted the idea that Sloan does not necessarily mean that decision entirely on its own. The Jazz organization wants you to believe nothing was too tired and that Sloan only. But Malone is not to buy, dass

Malone also said he wants to inherit Sloan "continue" in the sense of coaching. The Mailman also wants coach one day. That means a professional or at another level, it's pretty interesting.
