This dude is to the NBA COTY Award what Martin Scorcese was to the Oscars.

How is it possible that a dude with this kind of coaching record has never won COTY?

Just 3 poor/mediocre seasons (01/02, 03/04, 05/06).

No one expected the Jazz to do anything this season and yet all Sloan has done is coach them to possibly a 2nd place finish in the West.

If he can win it then it makes no sense why Jerry Sloan hasn't

what does that have to do with anything about Jerry Sloan winning COTY?
 
I don't think it's that crazy that he hasn't won it. First of all, the award is coach of the YEAR, not of the decade or of a career. Second, and more importantly, the coach of the year award often goes to a coach that defied expectations and won a lot of games with a mediocre lineup, or a lineup that had chemistry problems in the past (think OKC's coach this year or Dunleavy when he won it with the Blazers). Sloan coached two HOFers for most of his career, and recently has had two certified studs in DWill and Boozer. In the gap between Malone-Stockton and Williams-Boozer, his records were mediocre. Maybe his 41-41 season with that horrible squad was impressive, but you're not gonna win COTY without cracking .500.

Phil Jackson won already and i am pretty sure he doesn't care anymore when its pretty obvious he is going down as the GOAT

I honestly believe that as good of a coach he is, he's the one holding the Jazz back from winning it all.

As for why he hasn't won coach of the year, I dunno.

Agreed. We know how voters tend to vote. I mean, Phil Jackson only has one. Greg Popovich only has one.
