Jerry Sloan, Jazz Close to Signing Extension

Sloan doesn’t have a ring (and may never get one), but with 23 fantastic seasons (and counting!) on his resume, he’ll go down as one of the best NBA coaches of all time: “Jerry Sloan is close to signing a contract extension as coach of the Jazz, he told NBA.com Friday in a predictable development but important signal of his continued passion for the job at age 68. ‘It’s pretty much done, as far as that’s concerned,’ he said before the Jazz played the Warriors at Oracle Arena.”
