SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- New Utah Jazz coach Ty Corbin admitted his head was still spinning from Jerry Sloan's resignation yet expressed confidence Friday the team and star guard Deron Williams were moving forward together.
"Right now the guys' heads are spinning like mine is and we've got to find some way to get some stability through the game tonight and the next couple of games," said the 48-year-old Corbin, who was chosen as Utah's new head coach Thursday. "Then maybe we can catch our breath a little bit."
Williams, meanwhile, was doing his best to squelch speculation that he forced out the 68-year-old Sloan. But he did acknowledge having a halftime argument Wednesday night with Sloan in an emotional 91-86 loss to Chicago.
"Maybe arguing was the last straw, so there I am, guilty of that," Williams said. "But I think anybody who believes I could force coach Sloan to resign is crazy. He's stronger than that and personally if I said that to him, he'd probably go tell me to go do something."
