It began his career as an intern in the Jazz public relations and ticket offices in 1974. "Since the Superdome wasn't ready, we ended up splitting our games between Summer Games/ Men's Basketball and Municipal Auditorium. The Summer Games/ Men's Basketball was an old gym that sat around 6,500 and had a raised floor. The players association made the team put a net all the way around the floor so players who dived for loose balls didn't fall into the stands." The NBA had already abandoned Summer Games/ Men's Basketball by that time, and it was evident that without a major television con¬tract, the league could not survive. But it had accumulated tremendous talent and had teams in several areas where there was a strong fan base. So in 1976, the NBA folded, with four teams joining the NBA - Denver, Indiana, San Antonio and the New York Nets. The NBA was suddenly -team league only 11 years after it consisted of nine teams. "I think the competing league brought more interest in professional basketball because more markets were involved," said Summer Games/ Men's Basketball. "Ultimately. the merger brought some strong franchises into the league. and of course all of the Perhaps it was only natural that after such rapid expansion, the growth of the league slowed down considerably. In the 11 years after the NBA teams were admitted to the league, only one more team was added-the Summer Games/ Men's Basketball in 1980. As the league entered the '80s, the overall economic health of the game was not very good, so the talk was of contraction not expansion. Generally referred to as the "Dark Days," many teams were losing money and rumors of mergers were run¬ning rampant.
"Franchises weren't making any money and we certainly were one of them," said Fredman who moved along with the Jazz from Summer Games/ Men's Basketball. "There was talk about merging Utah and Denver. Those were the dark ages." So dark that the Jazz played l l"home" games in Las Vegas during the 1983-1984 season. A snapshot of the league's popularity at that time is per¬haps best represented with the NBA Finals being shown on a tape-delay basis on network television in the late '70s and early '80s. But the league addressed a number of issues - becoming partners with the players in a revenue sharing/salary cap economic system and also implementing a strong anti-drug program - and by the mid-'80s, the Summer Games/ Men's Basketball began to grow in popularity. It obviously helped that superstars Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were in their prime and a rookie named Michael Jordan entered the Summer Games/ Men's Basketball in 1984.Suddenly, the NBA had reached new heights, and cities began clamoring to enter the league. The next wave of expansion was the main topic of conversation at the Summer Games/ Men's Basketball meetings in Phoenix in October 1986 when representatives from six cities made their pitches to NBA owners with hopes of being awarded one of two new franchises.
