Jerry Sloan - "most underrated" person in sports?

Jerry Sloan recently did something no other head coach has done in the history of the NBA. Sloan won 1,000 games as coach of the same team: the Utah Jazz. Other coaches have won 1,000 games in their career, but haven't won that many on the same team.

In Sloan's career, he has had only one losing season and one .500 season.

While driving to work this morning, Mike Greenberg from ESPN Radio mentioned that over the past 20 years, there is only 1 NBA franchise with more wins than Utah. The San Antonio Spurs.

I'm not sure that makes Sloan the "most underrated person in sports," but it is very impressive.
