Players get sick of your voice. They really do. So the surprising thing isn't that Jerry Sloan quit as the Utah Jazz coach with two months left in the season, but that he lasted this long.
Twenty-three years?
With the same team?
And by using an approach -- on and off the court -- that hasn't changed since he first grabbed a whistle?
That's not happening anymore, not since the attention span of modern athletes resembles that of young people throughout the rest of society, as in fleeting. As in, what was it like near the end of Bobby Cox's nearly three-decade run as a major league manager, including his 25th and final year with the Atlanta Braves last season?
