Bryon Russell chatted amiably with some of his former teammates before the Wizards' 105-102 victory on Thursday, and he talked plenty during the game, too.
   
But he didn't say a word to the only coach he had during the first nine years of his NBA career. He said all he wanted to in the newspaper.
   
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, Russell told the Washington Post, "tears people's confidence down. How can somebody want to play for somebody that tears down their confidence all the time? He does that to a lot of players that are there now."
