I write at IndyCornrows.com and at my own site Hickory-High.com. I was shocked to hear about Jerry Sloan stepping aside. There will be a ton of stuff written about Sloan's career over the next few days but I felt drastically underqualified as a writer to contribute on recognizing his contributions. Instead I put together some numbers and thought I would share them here:

Games Played by the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 2,226

Wins by the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 1,138

Playoff Wins by the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 96

Points Scored by the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 183,770

Rebounds by the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 75,859

Assists by the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 46,163

Minutes Played by the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 440,940

Baskets Made by the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 68,500

Players who played for the Utah Jazz under Jerry Sloan: 133

It's pretty mind-blowing to see the size of some of those numbers. I'm not sure what the general sentiment is among the fans in Utah about his departure but I hope everyone knows that fans of basketball in cities around the country are sad to see him go.
