Open Extended ReactionsThe Utah Jazz and coach Will Hardy have agreed to a multiyear extension through 2031, owner Ryan Smith announced Monday.
Hardy, 37, was hired to coach the Jazz prior to the 2022-23 season and has compiled an 85-161 record in his three seasons, with no playoff appearances.
Utah won 37 games in his first season, 31 in his second and just 17 this season -- by far the worst record in franchise history and the worst record in the NBA this season.
Prior to joining the Jazz, Hardy worked as an assistant under the Spurs' Gregg Popovich (2015-2021) and the Celtics' Ime Udoka, reaching the NBA Finals in his only season with Boston in 2022.
"He has established a vision for our players and a strong foundation of core values, competitive habits, and growth mindset.
