Jazz Owner Smith Backs Hardy, Front Office Amid Slow Start
The Jazz fell to 1-8 with another loss on Friday, this time at the hands of Dallas. But prior to the game, owner Ryan Smith offered his support for head coach Will Hardy and a front office led by president of basketball operations Austin Ainge, per Na’Andre Emerson of The Deseret News.
“Will’s our guy. Austin’s our guy. Like we’re not changing anything,” Smith said on KSL’s “Scotty G. & The Coach” podcast. “Like we’re going to go through this, we’re going to work together. We got (CEO) Danny (Ainge), and like I love our group.”
