The Salt Lake City Stars have a new team president — one who is innately familiar to media covering the Utah Jazz.
Jonathan Rinehart was named Tuesday morning to the role in which he’ll oversee ticket sales, community relations, partnerships, marketing and other non-basketball aspects of the G-League team’s operations.
Rinehart comes to the Stars after spending a dozen years working for the Jazz, of which the Stars are an affiliate. He’s been a central figure in Utah’s media relations, serving the last three years as vice president of communications. He’s also been one of the organizing forces behind Utah Summer League the last three years, a role he’ll continue in.
