Solt Lake City – Utah rented the assistant coach of Dallas Marax Alex Jinsen to be men’s basketball coach.
Jensen, which was the Uts’s highest goal, replaced Craig Smith, which was separated in late February in its fourth season in Utah. Jensen was an assistant coach in the American Professional League for 12 seasons. He spent 10 years with Utah Jazz before joining Dallas in 2023. Utah will be his first training job since the Canton charge in the American Professional League from 2011-13.
Jensen was a former player in Utah under the leadership of Rick Magiros, where he played with Uts in the 1994-1995 season and then from 1997-2000 after a two-year break for missionary work. The total reached 1,279 points and 896 rebounds over four seasons in Utah. As an adult, he won the first honors of all MWC in the team while an average reached 13.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.1 passes for each game.
This is the first training job in Jensen in the university ranks since she worked as an assistant coach during the Magirus era in Saint Louis from 2007-11.
Jensen will be assigned to rebuild Uts to a competitor at the Big 12 conference and return the school to the NCAA championship. Utah has not reached the NCAA Championship since the 2015-16 season and showed one NIT game in Smith Four Seasons.
