The Utah Jazz are finalizing a five-year contract with Boston Celtics assistant Will Hardy to make him the franchise's next head coach, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Hardy, 34, will be the youngest active coach in the NBA.
The Jazz, led by new CEO Danny Ainge, conducted an extensive search that included at least 15 candidates to replace Quin Snyder, who resigned earlier this month. After taking over a rebuilding team, Snyder had a 372-264 record during his eight-season tenure in Utah, which has an active six-year postseason streak but did not advance past the Western Conference semifinals in that span.
