You said it, I said it, we all said it in years gone by when Jerry Sloan should have won the league’s top coaching honor. It was as plain as the bent nose on Jerry’s face.
Even in the Jazz’s best seasons ever — 1996-97 and 1997-98 — Sloan missed out, sitting and not saying a word — maybe mumbling a few colorful, countrified complaints to himself — when Pat Riley won it and Larry Bird won it.
Now it’s Snyder’s turn to let a season’s worth of brilliance speak for itself while voters likely turn a deaf ear, rewarding somebody else.
