Well, I guess that tweet squashes all the rumors.

So, is this a non story? How are they going to retract this one if he does step down?

Maybe he will maintain his current position but do it from across the nation over the phone?

Perhaps, Cy. That could have happened. Yes, Lindsay was the GM in title because that was the only way he could be hired away from San Antonio. Had Utah tried to bring him in as the Assistant GM, SA could have refused. Since it was a "promotion," SA had to grant permission for an interview and the right to break his contract with the Spurs. But KOC was still in charge. He was the one who signed the FA's. I agree, Orangello, the "retooling" failed miserably. KOC brought in some vets to lead the way while stunting the growth of the youngsters and Mo, Foye and Marvin were failures. Giving Al and Paul all those minutes, with the hope of either making the playoffs or turning them into valuable trade assets: FAILURE with a capital F. Perhaps KOC stepping aside makes it easier for real change to occur. KOC was the one who hired Corbin, had the love-fest when Mo was signed and declared his...and the Jazz' undying love for Williams. Now, if the Jazz fail to re-sign Mo, fire Corbin, etc., it can be put on Lindsay. And the Jazz organization saves face by Miller telling everyone Dennis is now in charge and any promises were made under the old regime.

yea, so I'm an arse this morning. Shouldn't have done it.
Greg never twitters about the jazz. Race track, cars, employees, but never Jazz. It saddens me because his dad was passionate to a flaw about the team.
He tweeted this morning but not a word about KOC or the team. What greg really tweeted this morning.

And Greg really does tweet out about KOC....no really.
Greg Miller @GregInUtah 1h Sources very close to the Utah Jazz (me) verify that Kevin O'Connor is not stepping down as EVP of Basketball Operations.

So, this rumor is based on real estate then?
Maybe. I'd like to know where David James got his info. He was the one who broke the "story", right?
I must spread the rep around.
