NBA: Utah Jazz Punish Staffer That Tweeted Shot at Deron Williams

Avery Johnson was fired as the Brooklyn Nets head coach on Thursday and a tweet was sent out from the Utah Jazz twitter account obviously taking a shot at point guard Deron Williams.  When I saw the tweet I assumed the person would be fired and although they haven’t, the Jazz has taken some disciplinary action.  Read more after the jump.

“Yesterday, a member of the Utah Jazz staff posted an inappropriate Tweet to the official Jazz account. This employee no longer has login access to the Jazz Twitter account and further disciplinary action is being taken internally,” the team said in a statement. “The Jazz does not comment on other NBA teams transactions and furthermore, does not condone any negative comments about any players, coaches, or front office staff throughout the league. It is simply unprofessional and unacceptable.”

If he worked for Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks he probably would have been just fine…
