Sloan calls time after 23 years as Jazz coach

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - After 23 seasons, Hall of Fame coach Jerry Sloan had only one bit of advice for successor Ty Corbin.

"Be yourself," Sloan said on Thursday after announcing he was stepping down after 1,127 wins with the Jazz because he didn't have the energy any more. Corbin, a former Jazz player, already began meeting players and will coach his first game on Friday night against the Phoenix Suns.

Around the league, the shock remained.
