Phil Miller of the Salt Lake Tribune reports: On Thursday, Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan fired back at a sports Illustrated article that said hewas planning to call it quits at season's end.

The story, which was in the April 14th issue, quoted "two team insiders" as saying the 61-year-old Jazz coach "is planning to call it quits this summer."

"I look at that, I consider all those type of things, in the summer," said Sloan, "I've always had those sort of feelings -- When's it going to be my last year? When's it going to be my last game? -- but I have them every year. And I guess I'm here today."

"I don't have any plans to go anywhere," said Sloan, who has a season and 4 million left on his contract. "Not that I know of."
