Carlos Arroyo wishes he handled things differently with Jazz coach Jerry Sloan when he was with the team.

"When (our differences) emerged, I should have approached Jerry Sloan," Arroyo told ESPN Deportes' Alvaro Martin.

"I should have done it right there; waiting for things to just happen was not the right decision."

Arroyo, who came to Utah after his first NBA season, clashed with Sloan about the team's offense. He was named the starting point guard following John Stockton's retirement.
