EnergySolutions Arena, home of the NBA’s Utah Jazz.

As fans of the Utah Jazz and NBA basketball, I think you would be hard-pressed to find one among us who wouldn’t want to be a fly on the wall in the team’s draft day war room or as GM Dennis Lindsey works the phones for a trade or free agent signing.

But what about the logistical side of team operations? More specifically, the management of the actual infrastructure at EnergySolutions Arena. The very court that serves as the venue for Jazz basketball is also an integral part of the team’s operations.

The hardwood that Dante Exum, Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert and company call home provides a foundation for all that the team does. In a video feature by The Salt Lake Tribune, the team’s VP of facilities, Jamie Galileo, talks about the process of dismantling the floor.

According to Galileo, the team at ESA has the process down to a science. Comparing it to working with Legos, he says a team of 12 people can either build or dismantle the court in approximately two and a half hours.

It’s a good thing I’m not managing the crew; I usually grew tired of my Lego sets after five or so minutes.

Good stuff as usual from the team at the Trib about an oft-overlooked component of our team’s basketball operations. Now if they could just get those cameras into the war room, we’d really be talking.
