SLOAN GOES FOR 23

Jerry Sloan continues his journey as the longest-tenured active coach for a single team in NBA history, as the 68 year-old former Chicago Bulls hardnosed defender confirmed he is coming back for another season with the Utah Jazz next campaign, according to Deseret News. It will be Sloan’s 23rd straight year as head coach of the Jazz. He has a coaching record of 1,190-780 win-loss record (.604) in 25 total years with the Bulls and the Jazz.

“I have always been thankful to the Miller family for their loyalty and support over the last 20-plus years. I appreciate the opportunities that have been provided to me and look forward to returning for the 2010-11 season.”
