Scott Roth

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 Scott Roth: 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.

Two-time All-Big Ten at Wisconsin, Roth took the scenic route to the NBA — two seasons with Efes Pilsen in Turkey and a CBA year in Albany before the Jazz signed him in February 1988. He played 42 games for Utah, finished his NBA time with San Antonio and expansion Minnesota, and closed his playing days in Spain, Greece, and Turkey.

Coaching became the true career: NBA assistant stints in Dallas, Memphis, and Toronto, a EuroBasket silver on Turkey's staff in 2001, and finally Australia, where he built the expansion Tasmania JackJumpers from scratch — NBL Coach of the Year in their first season and champions in 2024.

HOW HE CAME & WENTThe Jazz signed him out of the CBA on February 25, 1988 and he debuted five days later. He signed with San Antonio in January 1989.
