Still, Toolson had a decentcollege career. He was second-team All-WAChis senior season and graduated witha degree in international relations. He even liked studying.Get a load of this: He actually liked going to class. “Basketball can consume you it’s all you do,” he says.“I enjoyed the academics,I loved geopolitics. That gave me something else to think about.” Toolson wasset to think his way through law school —until the Utah Jazz phoned him up be- fore the 1990-91 season,and said: “We're interested in having you playforus.” ‘The 6-foot-5 shooting guard participated in.a kind ofdream‘on summerleague from which few could emerge as legitimate candidates for ‘heteam’s regular* seasonroster, getting his melon cracked and anklesprained ina rough-and-tumble initiation that he barely survived. He was invited back for veterans camp in the fall and somehow madethe club. “I rememberin the preseason, the first time I took the court, we were playing the Bulls, and I wound up covering MichaelJordan,” says Toolson. “He made a move,and the refs not only called him for a charge, but he sprained his ankle ontheplay.

Thereafter, he moved to anotherpro team in before Scott Laydencalled SPain in 1995 and asked him to return to the Jazz. Hewas there, Problem was, sowere Chris Morris and Bryon Russell. “TheJazz keptthose guys,” he says,“andI’m sure they're glad theydid.” ‘Toolson blew outof Utah in January 1996, signing with a club in Athens, Greece. There, he saw the base instincts of basketball fans, all gritty and raw. “Myfirst road game, against PaokSalonica, we got to the gym, andthere were police in riot gear,” he says. “We had to walk through police line just to get into the building. The fans were jumping up and down. Smoke was everywhere. My coach had 10 loogies on his nice cashmere jacketbefore things even got started. The crowd was throwing lighters and coins,three or four players got cut. We covered our heads with towels, We had to playthat night, but I wondered if it was worth it.” Inthe spirit ofsuch aggres- sion, even the relative Milque- toast Toolson got snared. During a playoff game in which he scored 17 points in the first half, the American was given a forearm shiverby an opposing player, prompting from Toolson a solid jab to the opponent's grill. “I don’t know what happened,” he says.“I got kicked out.” season, heading back to Spain, where civilians were a bit more civil. From '96 to '98, Toolson averaged a healthy 16 points for Badalona,a team from just outside Barcelona, where he existed nicely, showing the Euros how to shoot three-pointers from downtown. Butthe wear and tear of playing foreign ball, always returning with his wife, Holly, and four children to Utah in the offseason, began e: its toll that period.
