Jerry Sloan To Step Down As Jazz Head Coach
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A person with knowledge of the situation says Jerry Sloan is stepping down as head coach of the Utah Jazz.
The person also told The Associated Press on Thursday that longtime assistant Phil Johnson also will resign.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the resignations have not yet been formally announced.
Salt Lake City television station KSL first reported Sloan's pending resignation.
The team has scheduled a 3 p.m. press conference Thursday for what it called a significant announcement.
