Here's to Jerry Sloan, longtime head coach of the Utah Jazz, who today announced his resignation from the team. Sloan made his decision in the midst of his 26th season (23rd coaching the Jazz). The Basketball Hall of Famer's list of accomplishments is extraordinary, led by his 1,221 career wins. Karl Malone and John Stockton are often mentioned when Sloan's coaching career is discussed, but it's important to keep in mind that he led the Jazz to four NBA playoff berths after the two players' departures after the 2002-03 season. Only two other coaches have won more games in NBA history. Can you name them? Highlight the area below to reveal the answer
Answer: Don Nelson (1,335 wins) and Lenny Wilkens (1,332).
