Utah coach Jerry Sloan won't get involved in the recruiting process. But he has let his opinion be known. Sloan wants free-agent power forward Carlos Boozer to re-sign with the Jazz. "Sure, I'm hoping without a doubt,'' Sloan said in an interview with FanHouse at the Air Tran Orlando Pro Summer League on Monday about wanting Boozer back. "We're not as good of a team without him. And he helped us a great deal. It's hard to get good players.'' Sloan, entering his 23rd season as Jazz coach, said he generally stays out of the free-agent process during the summer. But he made his feelings known to general manager Kevin O'Connor in a staff meeting that was held after the season. "We all sat down and talked about what we'd like to do, and we'd like to have him back,'' Sloan said of it being a consensus opinion among Jazz officials. http://nba.fanhouse.com/2010/07/05/jerry-sloan-wants-carlos-boozer-to-re-sign-with-jazz/
