They're talking about the Snyder incident on PTI right now.... Wilbon says good for Sloan, and he would have benched Snyder for the rest of the season...
And he'd be fired before the season ends. Man, it's so easy for these media guys fire claims left and right and not to be accounted for what they are saying.
I have a fealing Sloan is angrier about Snyder lying to him about the incident than the incident itself.
He is an idiot, I had a math class with him in Reno. He consistantly made an ass of himself, and made jokes about getting an A no matter what he did, when he was actually in class that is. Most of the time he slept through the whole thing, and in the end he did get that A.
If you can even point him out in the 1st place. I'm sure there are NBA experts that don't even know who he is. I wish I could make it to the pro's and average 4 ppg.
Your classmate brought you out of three years of lurking. Snyder made a difference in this community!
its one thing for the jazz to play dirty. and i think sloan is responsible for that. but as a person he seems like a real class guy. plus its a fine line. when the guy is on your team he's just 'playing hard'. like the comment about barry elbowing someone on a jumpball. but when its on another team its 'dirty'. but sloan seems like a class guy. and he's been through a lot with his wife's death and all. and i kinda like him.
Yeah, I'm also revising my opinion of Sloan slightly upwards. Last summer when Greg Ostertag said that Sloan was a "good man", I nearly choked on my soda. What? How can the coach of the nasty, dirty, cheating Jazz be anything but scum? Ostertag had to be on drugs. But the Snyder incident gives me pause. Maybe Ostertag knew what he was talking about after all. Probably Sloan wasn't being totally altruistic -- maybe he knew that he had a potential Artest on his hands, and wanted to nip that attitude in the bud -- but it doesn't matter. What Sloan did was commendable, and my opinion of him has improved. He still doesn't have my total respect -- there is just too much history -- but I am ready to invite him back into the human race.
