    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The suspension had been served and the paycheck docked. But to Larry Miller, this season's installment of the Greg Ostertag Incident wasn't quite over. He had one more thing to say.
    I'm sorry.
    The Jazz owner, who took part in a screaming match last Wednesday involving Ostertag, coach Jerry Sloan "and 12-15 [other] guys" in the coach's office, pulled the veteran center aside after pregame warmups Monday and offered his apology for verbally challenging Ostertag.
    "I said 'I don't want that kind of relationship with you,' " Miller explained. "We don't need that from a team standpoint, we don't need that on a personal basis with each other. We just [need to] make amends and move on."
    Ostertag, who sat out Saturday's loss in Dallas after being suspended for the fourth time in five years over a confrontation with Sloan, said he was impressed with Miller's gesture. </div>
