As much as he wanted to treat it like any other victory, Jerry Sloan had to suffer through a little adulation after the Utah Jazz gave him his 1,000th win as an NBA coach.

Jazz fans saluted Sloan with a chant of "Jer-ry! Jer-ry!" for the final two minutes, then a standing ovation at the end of Utah's 101-79 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

"That's better than hearing them boo me. I've had a few of those over the years," Sloan said. "The most important thing is they were having fun because our team was playing well and I think they enjoyed that."

After the buzzer, Sloan quietly shook hands with his players and assistant coaches, then started toward the locker room as if it were any other victory.
