Jerry Sloan Thinks That Dye Job Makes You Look Clownish
There are a few things in this world - OK, a lot of things, but stay with me here - that Jerry Sloan isn’t a big fan of: Lack of hustle, selfishness on the court, not playing defense, and … a grown man making the decision to dye his hair.
So, imagine his reaction to 21-year old big man Kyrylo Fesenko’s blonde dye job. From the Salt Lake Tribune.
He’s got a long way to go to make himself a better player,” Sloan said. “He has skills, but sometimes the outside things will take you right out of this game. If those things are more important than basketball, that’s where you get in trouble.”
“A lot of people have skills,” Sloan added. “A lot of them are sitting on the sidewalk wondering what happened 20 years ago when they had a chance. He’s got to figure out what he wants to do and play basketball or be a clown.”
Word of advice, Kyrylo: Find a barber. Stat. If you plan on extricating yourself from Sloan’s doghouse next season, that is.

Would he say this if Deron Williams dyed his hair? Or if Stockton dyed his? I think not.

As we saw, Gilbert wrote in his blog that nobody wants to play in Milwaukee. So, what’s up with Salt Lake City?

While I don’t condone the dying or tip-frosting of any grown man’s hair(I stopped that noise back in early ‘02…when I had just turned 18), Fesenko is well under the 30 year age limit for said actions.
Seriously guys, you shouldn’t colour your hair from the age of 30 and up.

i think they’re still stuck in the 90s in some parts of europe….and i think Utah is close enough to vegas that most ball players won’t go crazy

Jerry Sloan is one of the top 5 coaches to EVER coach in the NBA hands down. If your a rookie and he tells you to jump on one foot and bark like a dog, you better get to woofing.

I would have said the same thing - only queers dye their hair - or wear cornrows - I don’t care what age they are.
