“It’s a sad day for all of us who knew Jerry Sloan. Not only on the
basketball court but, more importantly, as a human being. He was genuine and
true. And that is rare.
對認識教皇的所有人來說，這都是難過的一天。不只在球場上，更重要的是，
做為一個人，他真誠且真實。
He was a mentor for me from afar until I got to know him. A man who
suffered no fools, he possessed a humor, often disguised, and had a heart as
big as the prairie.”
在我認識他很久之前，他就是我的導師了，他是個不接受愚蠢的人，他的幽默常被掩蓋
並且他的心胸廣闊如草原。
短評或心得：
大家都知道波波從不講場面話的，但稀有甚至可說唯獨對教皇一直以來都相當尊崇，
不只一次說自己一直都在學習教皇，勝場數超過教皇時也謙稱跟他不是同一個等級的，
說過早期馬刺就是學自爵士來建立球隊文化，也說過他不看影片就是聽了教皇的話，
教皇從主帥位置退下來後，他還曾親自邀請至馬刺看看，希望給予一點建議。
以他的級別，這當然是太謙虛了，但參考是肯定的，推崇也是毫無疑問的，
身為彼此少有公開交情的主帥老友，想必他也是真的很難過。
同場加映爵士現任主帥殺人魔Q的致哀聲明：
Before coming to Utah, I was certainly aware of Coach Sloan and what he
meant to the NBA and to the coaching world,” Snyder’s statement read. “
But, upon living in Utah, I became acutely aware of just how much he truly
meant to the state.
來猶他前，我當然知道教皇以及他對NBA與整個教練界的意義，
但直到在猶他生活後，我才完全了解他對猶他州代表著多大的意義。
I was honored by the opportunity to follow in Coach Sloan’s giant
footsteps, and subsequently humbled by the task of trying to uphold the
standards and the success that are synonymous with his legacy.
我很榮幸有機會能跟隨教皇的巨人腳步，之後會謙卑地嘗試捍衛
有如他留下來遺產的標準與成功。
The clear identity that he established for Jazz Basketball –
unselfishness, toughness and the essential importance of Team – has always
left a palpable responsibility to strive for in carrying forward.” Snyder
said. “He will be missed and mourned by the Jazz family, the NBA and beyond.
他為爵士籃球樹立了鮮明的特色，無私.強韌與團隊優先的基礎
我們有責任努力發揚光大...他將被爵士大家庭.NBA與其他人所懷念與哀悼
