Charley Rosen on Jazz

As you usually do with the teams you cover, I think you had the technicalities
of Utah's offense and defense down to a 'T'. But I happened to watch the Jazz
play the Bucks on the following night and it seems to me that Utah's success
depends on how much rough play they can get away with. In the pursuit of
rebounds and loose balls, they seem to push and shove and generally maim their
opponents more than any other team in the league. If the refs continue to let
them operate in this fashion, then the Jazz will continue to win. But I don't
see this happening all year. ─ James, Milwaukee
First off, it's no surprise that a team coached by Jerry Sloan would resort
to physical tactics. As a player, Sloan was even rougher than Bruce Bowen.
Secondly, Utah's starting power players are Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur,
both of whom lack the quickness and fluid skills of most of their peers. Put
Matt Harpring, Derek Fisher and Jarron Collins in the same bang-or-find-other
-work category. If all things were indeed equal, these guys would be in foul
trouble starting from the opening tip.
Thirdly, knowing Sloan as well as they do (his 21 years in the command seat
is second only to Pat Riley's 23 seasons), and knowing that his players must
be physically aggressive in order to compete, the refs tend to let the Jazz
do what they have to do.
Lastly, players who initiate physical contact on a nightly basis are usually
vulnerable to suffering injuries themselves, as has been the case with Boozer
and Harpring. So, you might well be correct in assuming that the Jazz will
eventually be bludgeoned by their own necessary brutalities.
