And did the bottom drop out the first season (2003-04) without Stockton and Malone? No, the Jazz still won 42 games.

For that, Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor says, 'He should have been named coach of the century.'

Which brings up the strangest Sloan anomaly of them all. Not only is he the longest-tenured coach, but he also is the least decorated. He has never won the NBA's coach of the year award -- "That's the biggest injustice in sports," Love says. He has yet to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, an honor that doesn't wait for retirement in the case of coaches -- in large part because he wouldn't allow the Jazz to nominate him until this year. (If selected, Sloan could enter the Hall alongside Stockton.)

He has a style that's very different than most coaches are allowed to have now," Jazz shooting guard Kyle Korver said.

"I just think today, with how much money the players are making, you know, a lot of times the players have more say than the coach does. But because he's been here so long, he gets so much more respect," Korver added. "You know, what he says goes. And if you don't do what he says, you're not gonna play. And you just can't argue with that. You can't go to the [management] in Utah and say, 'Hey, blah, blah,' and get in some fight. It just doesn't happen here, and that's rare. Not just in basketball, but all sports, really."
