Assistant Coach Alex Jensen Wants Franchise's First Win
Alex Jensen takes over for Craig Snyder as Utah's Assistant Coach
Jensen was promoted after Snyder was relieved of his duties two weeks ago
The Utah Jazz are still in the early stages of their offseason, but they have already made one significant change to their coaching staff. Assistant coach Alex Jensen has been promoted to replace Craig Snyder, who was relieved of his duties on April 11th. Jensen has been with the Jazz since 2019, and he has a strong reputation as a player development coach. He is also well-respected by the players, and he is expected to be a valuable asset to new head coach Will Hardy.
Snyder was Utah's coach since 2014, making it the team's first regime change in quite some time. He led the Jazz to the playoffs in each of his eight seasons at the helm, but he was unable to get them past the second round. The team's disappointing finish this season, in which they went 49-33 and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Dallas Mavericks, ultimately led to his dismissal.
Jensen will now be tasked with helping Hardy turn the Jazz into a championship contender. He will be responsible for developing the team's young players, and he will also be involved in game planning and strategy. Jensen is a bright and talented coach, and he is confident that he can help the Jazz reach their full potential.
