The Utah Jazz | as seen by Basketball John

Continuing “the no particular order” stories of the year…

On the 3rd day of Christmas the Utah Jazz gave to me…

New Jazz Prez

Now if this were in order of importance, this may have been #10 or maybe #17.  But because one of my original stories I thought happened in ‘07 happened in ‘06, I had to scrounge to find something.  And because I saw him at the Revue and had unknown photographic knowledge with him, Randy Rigby (man in the middle [not that way], blue tie) lands on the list.

He became Prez after Dennis Haslam stepped down to “pursue other interests.”  And of course it was a great big bawl-fest will LHM leading the way.

This note from the artcile was interesting:

Rigby has served as executive director of the Jazz 100 Club, an exclusive private group made up of local area leaders and business people with an interest in the success of the Jazz.

Is this like the Pentaverite?  It looks like Jim Olson is now the leader of this group.  I want names…  What other controlling influence does this group have?

I think this will become my New Year’s resolution for basketballjohn.com, to get to the bottom (or top) of the organization.  So if I go missing, someone send this post out to the police.  Well, wait at least a couple weeks, I may have gotten lazy.
