Looking forany autographAndy Toolson
One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Andy Toolson: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.
His BYU career paused for two years while he served a church mission in Concepcion, Chile — he returned to average 18.3 points as a senior and make first-team Academic All-America. Undrafted, he signed with the Jazz in October 1990 and played 47 games, came back for 13 more in 1995–96, and spent much of the decade starring in Spain, winning the 1997 Copa del Rey with Joventut.
He added a master's degree from Syracuse in 1999, coached four seasons as a BYU assistant, then moved to the microphone as a radio and television analyst for Cougar basketball. He lives in Provo, Utah.
HOW HE CAME & WENTUndrafted, he signed with the Jazz on October 1, 1990, came back for a second stint in 1995-96 and was cut that January after 13 games.
