Jerry Sloan has a 1,221-803 record in 26 seasons as an NBA coach.

Kirby Lee/US Presswire

After talking to Jerry Sloan back in early January for a story about his potential return to the NBA, one thing was clear in my mind about the Hall of Fame coach: He wanted back in.

Sloan, who resigned as Utah coach midway through last season after 23 seasons, hadn't come right out and said that directly. The NBA's third-winningest coach (1,221-803) was still enjoying his time away from the game, whether he and his wife, Tammy, were living on his farm in Illinois or back in his Utah home. But the strong signs that he wanted to coach again were there, and they've all come true in recent weeks as he is officially back in the coaching mix.

The 70-year-old Sloan, who insists his energy has returned to the levels required to do the job his way, discussed his coaching candidacy as well as the NBA playoffs in an interview with SI.com on Thursday. As Sloan indicated, he has spoken with Bobcats owner Michael Jordan about Charlotte's coaching position and will meet with team officials on Friday in Utah for a formal interview.

SI.com: Where do things stand with your coaching future?

Sloan: I'm supposed to talk to Charlotte tomorrow, and beyond that I haven't talked to anybody else.

SI.com: Are you 100 percent interested in that job, or is this a two-way feeling-out process at all?

Sloan: I wouldn't talk to them if I wasn't interested. I wouldn't waste their time. That's not something I'm interested in doing. But I have no idea, and they probably have no idea about me, so I don't know. I guess that's why we're meeting.

SI.com: What about the Orlando situation? It was reported that you had interest there. Have you spoken to the Magic yet?

It sounds cliche but it's true, you're never too old to get in shape.

In Health Plus, fitness classes for seniors available now in eastern Iowa.

Mary McGee isn't just talking about getting in better shape, she's doing it.

"I was in the bathtub and I had to turn around on my hands and knees in order to get out of the bathtub, so I needed strength to be able to lift myself out of the bathtub which I have no problems with now at all," she said.

Thanks to classes at Covenant Wellness Center in Waterloo, seniors are staying active.

"As we grow older and we retire our ultimate goal is to enjoy life at that point, even more some. And so we want to have a healthy body and exercise allows us to do that," Manager of Outpatient Rehabilitation Services and WellnessSheri Purdy said.

Classes like Bodywell, yoga and tai chi are helping older eastern Iowans with muscle tone and balance.

"You could be 60-years-old and start an exercise program. It actually reverses your aging process. So though your chronological age increases, your biological age decreases if you start exercising," said Purdy.

Now five years into her fitness routine, the 75-year-old says she's come a long way.

"You just get more strength in your legs, the strength in your arms. It relieves stress. It's just something once you start doing you want to do to keep healthy," said Mary.

Health and fitness agenda: Mobile Health Summit

Retirement security seems to be an issue that the candidates running for president are running away from. But they shouldn't, according to growing number of executives in the financial services industry.

In fact, executives and others are demanding that President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican candidate, lay out their respective positions on various retirement security issues, such as Social Security, automatic IRAs and the like.

Earlier this month, for instance, Robert Reynolds, the chief executive officer of Putnam Investments, asked in no uncertain terms that Obama and Romney endorse the tax incentives now in place for retirement saving programs such as the 401(k) and start debating how to make Social Security solvent.

In short, Reynolds called on the candidates from both political parties to recognize retirement security as not only a vital national challenge, but a key element in solving our nation's debt and deficit crisis over the long term. "If we solve the retirement challenge it would have a huge benefit for all Americans," Reynolds said in an interview. "If someone's future is secure, it allows them to do so much more with their lives."

Weeks later, we're still waiting.

Obama and Romney have not responded to Reynolds' call. So, we set out to learn what each of the candidate's positions are on some of the major retirement security issues, and to echo Reynolds' plea for action as well.

Social Security

When it comes to making Social Security solvent, a spokesperson for Romney referred us to the campaign's website. And here's what Romney wants to do to fix Social Security:

First, for future generations of seniors, the retirement age should be slowly increased to account for increases in longevity. And two, for future generations of seniors, benefits should continue to grow but that the growth rate should be lower for those with higher incomes.

"With just those two simple steps, and no change in benefits for those at or near retirement, America can guarantee the preservation of the Social Security system for the foreseeable future," according to Romney's website.
