<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Having coached his 1500th game on December 14, 2004 against the Los Angeles Clippers, Jerry Sloan is easily one of the greatest NBA coaches of all time. But Jazz fans already know that; they've seen it all firsthand. The great players, playoff runs, memorable seasons, shattered records and thousands of pick-and-rolls. Jerry Sloan is the longest tenured coach with one franchise in NBA history. In his 17th year at the Jazz helm, he surpassed Boston Celtics legend Red Auerbach for the title. His 1507 games coached ranks 10th all-time. 928 wins place him eighth. Throw in two appearances in the NBA Finals, 15 consecutive trips to the playoffs, ten 50-win seasons, five Midwest Division titles, and the development of maybe the greatest point guard and power forward of modern hoops - he is easily among the echelon of the greatest coaches ever.</div> <div align="center">Link </div>
