One of the most heralded coaches in NBA history has resigned from the Utah Jazz.

Jerry Sloan, who was recently inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, has stepped down from the role not long after a receiving an extension from the team. The team is planning a news conference for 5 p.m. ET on Thursday to discuss his future with the team. He did not offer further details, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
Assistant coach Tyrone Corbin will be taking over the team, the Tribune reported.
Rumor is the reason for Sloan’s sudden departure is because Williams and Sloan have had multiple disagreements this season. And after their latest one Wednesday night, Sloan decided to give it up after 23 seasons as Utah's coach. Yahoo writer Adrian Wojnarowski notes that the ownership was listening more to Williams more than Sloan with his 2012 free agency approaching. Williams may have only been willing to re-sign in Utah if Sloan was gone. It’s a pretty crappy ending for a coach who essentially perfected the pick and roll, and coaches up Karl Malone and John Stockton.
