Jerry Sloan-one of the best coaches in sports history who has never won a title. He has over 900 wins and 16 playoff appearances in 19 seasons. That speaks for itself!
Yes, you have a point. But, in 1997 and 1998, when they had John Stockton and Karl Malone and lost to the Chicago Bulls in the Championship, they played great, and, if not for some unbelievable games by Michael Jordan, hands-down the greatest player ever, they almost definitely would have won a title. Yes, they have choked, but, either way, getting 900 wins is one awesome accomplishment.
True, but don't forget all the other opportunities they've had. In 94 Hakeem killed Utah Jazz in the conference finals and he was Houston's only all-star while Utah had 3 all-star caliberplayers in Stock, Mailman and Horny. If I remember it right it was a 4-1win series.
And in 95 they had a 60+ win season while Houston was 6th seeded but Utah lost again in the first round, in the final game of that series Utah led with like 5 or 7 with 2-3 minutes left. Sloan is good but still a choker:)
Wow, in many ways, Jerry Sloan=Bobby Cox, the legendary manager of the Atlanta Braves. Like Sloan, Bobby Cox is a Hall of Famer(or will be), and he has sooooo many wins and won 14 straight NL East Titles. Yes, unlike Sloan, Bobby has a title, but he only has one. The Braves, like the Jazz, are famous for choking, and think about how much talent they have had.
But I know that Utah have had 2 of the best players of all-time at once for like 16 years and still wasn't able to win anything. A coach that can't win with two of the best of all-time is a choker, with out no doubt:)
The Braves are baseball. And, Bobby had some awesome teams, won 14 straight Division Titles, but only 1 World Series Title. His teams choked often, too.
I see, but isn't he a choker if all his teams also choke?
I think Jerry is a great coach and maybe he's not even a choker, as known his coachingstyle and the way his teams play very different from the normalcoaching and playingstyle. That may be the reason, that the way of coaching takes his team far but it doesn't work to the end? I don't know mate, I just find it very weird that he never won a thing during his 20 years as coach and with all these great teams.
I hate Jerry Sloan he is a phony fuck

Yepp, he and his teams are chokers, to be in the playoffs 16 times without a championship is a fucking joke.
