While the team has struggled on the court as it is torn down and rebuilt, Hardy has shown he can develop players and is a quality coach.

Will Hardy is being given more time to continue the rebuild of the Utah Jazz, receiving a multi-year extension to remain as the team's head coach.

The Utah Jazz’s leadership wanted to make clear: Despite all of the losing during the 2024-25 season, they love Will Hardy as the franchise’s head coach. So on Monday, they put pen to paper on another contract extension, locking Hardy in through the 2030-31 season. Hardy’s contract previously ran through 2026-27.
