<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SALT LAKE CITY - Before the season started, Jerry Sloan needed just 25 victories to reach 900 in his coaching career. Some expected the revamped Jazz to take a year or two to reach the mark, but it's early February and Utah is on the verge of putting Sloan among the NBA's elite. Just don't ask him about it. "I had nothing to do with it. Players are the ones who had a lot to do with it as far as the wins are concerned," Sloan said. "I think all that stuff is just a bunch of nonsense, really." Sloan isn't just being modest. He genuinely doesn't want any hoopla about the Jazz playing for his 900th coaching win when Utah hosts Chicago on Wednesday night. While many players and coaches would acknowledge that they may look at such a milestone after retirement, Sloan won't allow even that. "It won't mean anything to me when I retire," Sloan said, "because I've never won a championship and if you play this game for any other reason, then I think you're playing it for the wrong reason."</div> More here.
For those who don't know Jerry Sloan that much. This is typical Jerry Sloan. He just goes out to win each night, and doesn't care about anything else.
