Jerry Sloan, a Hall of Fame basketball coach and a former Chicago Bulls player, died on Friday.
Here’s a look at what Jerry Sloan meant to both the Utah Jazz and the Chicago Bulls organizations.
Sloan’s death comes on the heels of an announcement he made in 2016 communicating that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia. The news is shaking up NBA Twitter as many take time to share their condolences.
As a head coach, Sloan was one of the most winningest coaches in Jazz and NBA history.
