Last year Sloan had a lot on his head (his wife was dying throughout most of the season). Yet he still managed to pull Utah within 2 games of the NBA playoffs. It's obvious she meant the world to him and he was devastated by the death. But I think he also knows how much she loved the Jazz. In fact, that is why stayed coaching Utah -- she DEMANDED that he continued with the job while she was dying. It gave her joy and that in return gave Sloan joy. Now he'll be coaching not just for the wins, but for her....because he knows she'll be watching from heaven, sitting in an armchair made from clouds, cheering Utah on.
