I commented about Sloan awhile back when someone made the thread about him as COY I think. I mentioned that his substitution patterns and unwillingness to make adjustments are why he's never won the big one. He's a great coach but there is something he lacks that keeps him from being up there with Popovich or Jackson.

Sloan is about consistency. I agree it is what has gotten the Jazz to where they are, and I'd almost say it is one thing that is holding them back. I honestly feel that the Jazz will be Championship contenders when Sloan leaves, but that it is a huge disservice to Sloan if they don't recognize the hand that he had in getting them to that point. It is frustrating, because you want to see Sloan win one for all he has done for the franchise, but at the same time, it is probably the one thing keeping them from getting over the top.
