Jerry Sloan Named A Top-15 Coach In NBA History

For 23 years, Jerry Sloan was a fixture on the Utah Jazz sideline.

Fitted out in his standard coat and tie, Sloan was well seen and always well heard. With a voice that could capture the attention of anyone within earshot, Sloan was as central a figure in the lives of Jazz fans as anyone else associated with the organization.

Throughout his illustrious time in the snowy mountains of Utah, Sloan compiled a hall of fame career. He finished his coaching career 1,221-803, good enough for a .603 winning percentage.

On Tuesday, Sloan was named one of the top-15 coaches in NBA history.
