Why Sloan will never be coach of the year.
With the Spurs safely up by 15 over the Suns Phoenix makes back to back baskets. Popovich calls a timeout, stops the Suns flow and safely gets his lead back up to 16 points. Similar situation in the Jazz game tonight. Jazz are up by 16 and Houston makes two threes back to back does Sloan call a timeout to stop the bleeding? No of course not, I think we should just go ahead and trust the players who allowed Houston two wide open threes in the first place. Houston comes down and Mutumbo gets a dunk to cut the lead to 8, does Sloan call a timeout now? Nope not yet. The Jazz trade a pair of baskets before Houston hits another 3. Does Sloan call a timeout now? Of course not. Trade a couple more baskets and the Rockets come down with a 6 point deficit and miss a 3 that would have cut it to 3. Does Sloan call a timeout now? Well duh, the run is over so why not stop time now to let the Rockets get things back together. The damage has been done and the Jazz finish the quarter out of sorts, up by 5 with no momemtum. That is some good coaching there Jerry.
