Layden, the former president of the New York Knicks and an assistant coach and administrator with Utah, is coming back to the Jazz as an assistant on coach Jerry Sloan's staff, the team announced Wednesday. 曾為紐約尼克隊總裁和猶他爵士的助理教練與管理者 Layden，於星期三宣佈他要回到爵士隊作為在 Jerry Sloan教練的助手。 D Layden and Sloan were assistants with the Jazz under former coach and general manager Frank Layden, Scott's father. It was Scott Layden who convinced his father in 1984 to use the 16th overall pick in the draft to select an unknown point guard out of Gonzaga -- John Stockton. Layden和 Sloan以前曾共同輔佐爵士前教練及總經理 Frank Layden，Frank同時也是 Scott Layden 的父親。特別是 Scott Layden 在 1984 年時說服他的父親在選秀會上以第 16 順位挑選來自 Gonzaga大學莫莫無名的控球後衛 - John Stockton。 A year later, Scott Layden directed the draft again and Utah selected Karl Malone at No. 13, setting the foundation for the franchise until 2003. 一年之後，Scott Layden再次引導選秀會使猶他爵士以第 13 順位選擇 Karl Malone，這一選擇確立了爵士隊到2003年球隊的根基。 "I am really pleased to make this announcement. Scott has an extensive amount of basketball knowledge and will bring a great deal to our coaching staff," Sloan said in a release. "我真的很高興能宣佈這件事情。 Scott 擁有廣博的籃球知識，且他會帶給我們這些教練人員許多幫助。" Sloan在記者會上說。 Layden hasn't worked in the NBA since being fired as president of the New York Knicks in December 2003. Layden spent four seasons running the Knicks and was blamed by fans for New York's struggles. He became so unpopular in New York that fans filled Madison Square Garden with the chant of ``Fire Layden!'' during the 2003 draft. Layden自2003年12月被作為紐約尼克隊解雇後，就沒有參與 NBA的工作。Layden 花費 4個球季來經營尼克隊但卻受到紐約球迷的責備。在紐約，他變得非常不受歡迎，以至於球迷於2003年選秀會時聚集在麥迪遜的花園廣場上高唱著 "解雇 Layden" 。 A few months later, the Knicks did just that. 幾個月以後，尼克隊真的這麼做了。 Layden spent 18 years with the Jazz as an administrative assistant, scout, assistant coach, director of player personnel and vice president of basketball operations. He left Utah in 1999 to become president and general manager of the Knicks. Layden曾花了18年為爵士隊擔任行政助理，球探，助理教練，球員人事主管和籃球事務副總裁。然後他在1999年離開猶他爵士而成為尼克隊的總裁和總經理。 "I think he felt a comfort level with Coach and I think he felt a comfort level with the organization," said Kevin O'Connor, who succeeded Layden as vice president of basketball operations in 1999. "我認為他可與教練相處愉悅，我也認為他可與組織相處愉悅"，在1999年繼任 Layden作為籃球事務副總裁的Kevin O'Connor說。 The only player remaining from Layden's first tenure with the Jazz is Andrei Kirilenko, a first-round draft pick in 1999 before Layden left for the Knicks. Layden在爵士任職期間唯一還在的球員只剩Andrei Kirilenko，該球員是在 Layden前往尼克隊之前，從1999年選秀會的第一輪所挑選。 Layden, 46, will officially start Sunday when the team meets for rookie camp prior to the start of the summer league on July 15. He was out of the country Wednesday and unavailable for comment. 46歲的Layden在星期日正式上任，那時球隊正在進行 7月15日夏天聯盟的開始之前的菜鳥訓練營。他在星期三就出國且沒有發表任何評論。 The deal will be completed later in the week when Layden returns. The Jazz would not disclose terms of the contract. 當 Layden 回來時，此案將會在稍後的一週內完成。爵士將不透露合約內容。 Layden replaces Gordon Chiesa, Sloan's longtime assistant who left for a job with the New Jersey Nets last month. Layden joins assistants Phil Johnson and Tyrone Corbin and Sloan, who succeeded Frank Layden in 1988. Layden 將替代上個月前往新澤西籃網隊的一位 Sloan 的長期助手 - Gordon Chiesa。 Layden曾參加由Phil Johnson，Tyrone Corbin和1988年繼任其父Frank Layden的 Sloan所組成的助理教練團。 "I don't think it's been buttoned down exactly what his obligations are going to be, but his main responsibility will be on the floor as an assistant coach," O'Connor said "我不認為他的義務是要來扣緊球隊，而他的主要責任將是實在地作為一名助理。" O'Connor說。 ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.167.176.146
