Jerry Sloan will resign as coach of the Utah Jazz on Thursday, according to media reports in Salt Lake City.

Sloan, who signed a one-year contract extension on Monday, said the team is planning a news conference for 5 p.m. ET on Thursday to discuss his future with the team. He did not offer further details, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Television station KSL first reported on its website that Sloan and assistant coach Phil Johnson planned to announce their resignations.

The Associated Press, citing a person with knowledge of the situation, also reported that Sloan and Johnson would resign.

Before joining the Jazz, Sloan coached the Bulls for two full seasons and part of a third. He has a career coaching record of 1221-803 -- a .603 winning percentage -- and a playoff record of 98-104.
