Will Sloan become the All-Time wins leaders for coaches?

Coach Wins
Lenny Wilkens 1,332
Don Nelson 1,309
Pat Riley 1,210
Jerry Sloan 1,137
Larry Brown 1,045
Phil Jackson 1,041
Bill Fitch 944
Red Auerbach 938
Dick Motta 935
George Karl 933

Basically inevitable that he'll pass Wilkens as he can't get fired and he basically would just need the rest of this season and another 3 good years. Phil Jackson though is only 100 wins behind him, and his career win percentage is .705 compared to Sloan's .602, which is actually 9th best all time.

I could definitely see him sticking around for another three years. He is already working it out for next year, and if the Jazz are still good and get a good pick he might stick around.

Well, since Jerry Sloan will be coaching our team for at least 30 years more, its pretty sure he will pass Wilkens for like 1000 wins more :wink:

I can't really see Phil sticking around for the all-time wins record. I think he'll be content to take his 10 (11? 12?) titles into retirement.
