	CJ Online Sports: Educating Ostertag 02/01/98
		When the Jazz picked Ostertag late in the first round of the 1995 draft, they seemed like a perfect match: a shot-blocking center in the mold of Mark Eaton who could be a perfect endpoint for Utah's funneling defense.
		Ostertag didn't seem to feel any pressure when he signed a six-year, $39-million contract extension before the season began.
		After Sloan yanked Ostertag from the game for missing a rebound, the two had a shouting match on the sideline punctuated by Ostertag kicking a chair and being thrown off the bench for the rest of the first half.

	deseretnews.com \| Why is Ostertag still an option?
		The highly lucrative contract that caused Ostertag so much consternation has expired, Jazz brass are searching far and wide for help from others in the middle, and the native Texan who prefers boots over basketball shoes is free to take his game anywhere he wants.
		But the lasting image is of Ostertag and Sloan, the 7'2" center's long arms wrapped tightly around a mourning man twice his age, the old coach's head buried in the chest of a lovable lug who so often drives him nutty.
		And since Ostertag says he will look back on playing for Sloan as "a positive experience" whenever the end does come, maybe that is another reason the tale has not concluded just yet.

		Greg shouldnt stay if they got plans for Jarron if they dont then they should definitely resign him, he's a solid center.

	Jazz a legitimate playoff contender, but Greg Ostertag still status quo - Sports (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		It's just that Ostertagwell, he's the same Ostertag who drove us all crazy for nine years the first time he was here-slow, lazy and unmotivated with seemingly no sense of how to play the game of basketball.
		We're talking about a team that, in Boozer's absence, has forced Mehmet Okur to play power forward and so has just three centers on the roster-Ostertag, Collins and Robert Whaley, who rarely plays and is typically on the inactive list.
		And still, with every opportunity to play big minutes, Ostertag has proven himself unable to even get on the floor on a regular basis.
