Salt Lake City, Utah (August 18, 2006) - The Utah Jazz Sr. Vice President of Basketball Operations, Kevin O'Connor, announced today that the team will hold training camp at the Taco Bell Arena on the campus of Boise State University, located in Boise, Idaho. In addition, the team will hold their annual media day on Monday, October 2, 2006 at the Zions Bank Basketball Center.
The Jazz will open training camp in Boise on Tuesday, October 3 and will hold daily practices October 3-7 that will be closed to both the media and the public. The daily practice schedule and media availability will be announced at a later date.
"Returning to Boise is a benefit to us not only because of the facilities at Taco Bell Arena," said O'Connor, "but Boise is also the location of our designated NBA Development League team the Idaho Stampede. Giving both coaching staffs the opportunity to share ideas and see the team practice is a benefit to the Jazz."
Utah will play an eight-game preseason schedule including Thursday, October 19 against the Portland Trail Blazers and Thursday, October 26 against the Indiana Pacers at the Delta Center.
