The Utah Jazz and coach Will Hardy have agreed to a multiyear extension through 2031, owner Ryan Smith announced Monday.

“Will is a great leader, communicator, and ambassador for our org, and is a tremendous partner to [CEO Danny Ainge], [GM Justin Zanik]and me,” Smith said in a social media post. “Our goal is to hang a banner, and Will is a huge part of this journey.”

Hardy, 37, was hired to coach the Jazz prior to the 2022-23 season and has compiled an 85-161 record in his three seasons, with no playoff appearances. The Jazz finished fifth in the Northwest Division this season with a 17-65 record.

Hardy has been tasked with the developmental years of the Jazz’s rebuild. Prior to joining the Jazz, Hardy worked as an assistant under the Spurs’ Gregg Popovich (2015-2021) and the Celtics’ Ime Udoka, reaching the NBA Finals in his only season with Boston in 2022.

He also served as an assistant with USA Basketball for the gold-medal-winning 2020 team at the Tokyo Olympics.
