Jazz's O'Connor signs extension

The team he assembled opened the season with great promise on Wednesday.
One day later, Kevin O'Connor was rewarded for his role, too.
O'Connor, in charge of player acquisition for the past seven years, signed
a new multi-year contract Thursday after "about 15 minutes" of negotiation,
he said. "I don't know if I'd even classify them as negotiations. We sat down,
I said 'Are you comfortable with how things are going?' and they said they
are."
O'Connor was entering the final season of a contract he signed in 2002,
but said he never considered the possibility of going anywhere else. "I've
always wanted this to be my last job," said O'Connor, hired to replace Scott
Layden in 1999. "I feel very comfortable with the organization, as long as
they're comfortable with me. There are not many jobs in the NBA where you
have an owner who cares as much for the guys who work for him as much as
Larry 'Miller" does."
The Jazz believe the 2006-07 season, which opened with a 107-97 victory
over Houston on Wednesday, has the promise to be the team's best since John
Stockton and Karl Malone departed. But O'Connor said he doesn't feel any pride
for himself in the roster he has built through free agency, trades and draft
picks.
"It's a collective deal here," said O'Connor, who works closely with
Miller, president Dennis Haslam, coach Jerry Sloan and the coaching staff on
player decisions. "We have an organization that cares a lot more about trying
to win games than taking credit. If I have any pride, I take a lot of pride
that the guys on this team are a group of quality people as well as
basketball players."
