Deron has been bitching for a while about how Sloan's system is getting out-dated and that NBA teams have caught up to him. You can read his quotes from the Salt Lake Tribune or Deseret news over the past few weeks that he was hinting of being fed up with Jerry. Add the fact that they had a huge argument last night, deron and the players just wrongfully quit on him.
Bottom line is most nba players dont want to run a backdoor and cut team for 82+ games because their bodies feel like shit. Why not run a a pick and roll like the rest of the league. Last team that had any form of original offense gone.

he played here in my home town for the Aces....its a very well liked guy around here and respected....shame to see it happen, but his legacy is sealed, regardless of the troubles he had in the tough west conference....he most always got more out of the talent he had than any other coach..
Never understood this why do coaches get pity when they quit on their team for non health related reasons? Coaches in all professional sports have the ultimate out they could quit errrr I mean resign. Even if the coach is under contract he can simply take his ball and go home and the following year go coach another team or change ranks and go to the college level and coach or something. Players don't get that luxury if they are unhappy with their situation mid way through their contract. Their two options are to just become a mercenary and play purely for the money or to retire.
I don't want to hear from some coach seasoned or young about what kind of bullshit he has to deal with at his place of employment. The rest of us in the world with ordinary day jobs get paid far less money to deal with office politics and micro managing and insubordination and favortism but we grind it out every day.
I kind of like it in the NBA and the NHL that players have some clout when it come to team strategy and game management. In the NFL and MLB the coaches and managers have too much dictatorship and they ruin players talented careers far too often simply because of their huge egos. In the NBA on a 5 on 5 court the coaches, fans, media and other players know which players have talent and which ones don't so the best players always play.
