Having 0 knowledge on the matter, isn’t Alex Jensen a big name on the coaching staff?
I don’t love this unless Jensen intends to get a head coaching role somewhere else. He’s been a key part of any success we’ve had over the course of the last decade. In Hardy we trust I suppose.
Wonder if he will go to Atlanta
I’m all for a cleansing of loose end management for better or worse. No disrespect to Alex Jensen but the Jazz had a propensity to keep around Utah home guys, then other guys like Johnny Bryant who seemed to have a me all approach to player dev and likely sort of was a screw in the Donovan/NewYork/Trade/’Drama’
Of course I say that with Danny Ainge basically running things living on his IRA plan, so who knows what will work out
Sometimes coaching change can help, sometimes it hurts. Impossible to judge this until we see the replacements and they have time to put their imprint on the team
I’m fine with this tbh. Sometimes I feel Utah is overly loyal to people with “Utah ties.” Also Hardy has earned the right to mold his staff how he wishes.
