<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jazz coach Jerry Sloan denied reports Monday morning that he is seriously considering retirement at the end of the season. "Nothing is any different than it's always been at this stage of the year," Sloan said prior to his team's practice at the Zions Bank Basketball Center. The retirement talk started when the Rocky Mountain News in Denver reported that Sloan has grown weary of his job in the wake of the Jazz's disappointing season. "I don't know what tomorrow will bring," he told the newspaper. Several Internet sites picked up the story and ran it, even though Sloan has given the same answer to the same question for years. The 63-year-old Sloan is finishing his 17th year as head coach of the Jazz, whose streak of 16 straight winning seasons under him is coming to an end. But discouraged? Sloan doesn't sound like it.</div> <div align="center">Link </div>
