When the stunning announcement came that the Utah Jazz had been sold, there was one question that almost everyone asked: What would Larry have done?
The late Larry H. Miller, the man who risked his entire fortune and more to keep the Jazz in Utah, famously vowed that they would never leave and that selling the team would be tantamount “to selling Canyonlands.”
Gail Miller, who became owner and chairman of the board of the Jazz’s parent company after her husband passed away in 2009, asked herself the same question — what would Larry do? So did the family management group, which ultimately makes the decisions for the family trust (the Jazz were placed in the family trust when it was created in 2017 to keep the franchise in Utah).
