The Utah Jazz will be honoring Jerry Sloan with a banner-raising ceremony during Friday night’s game at their arena. The NBA basketball team won’t be alone in officially celebrating the Hall of Fame coach’s career. Friday has been declared “Jerry Sloan Day” in the Beehive State by Utah Gov. Gary Herbert.
Sloan has the third-most wins in NBA coaching history (1,221 with Jazz and Bulls), that he made two Finals appearances, had 19 playoff appearances, tallied 16 consecutive winning seasons and won seven division titles.
Well done Jerry.
