http://www.insidehoops.com/sloan-interview-102403.shtml InsideHoops.com met with Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan in the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, at the tail end of the 2003-04 NBA preseason. While many have low expectations of the no-Malone, no-Stockton Jazz this season, Coach Sloan made it clear that even thinking that way is like already admitting defeat. InsideHoops.com: Any one thing you stress with Kirilenko more than anything else? Jerry Sloan: Yeah, learn how to play. Jerry Sloan is always a laugh with interviews, this one no exception. I was quite pleased with the way he was saying he wont have "low expectations" like a lot of other people. Preseason is already showing this. Hopefully this is the year he gets COY, he deserves it.
