Utah got its man the second time around.

One week after the University of Utah announced it was parting ways with men’s basketball head coach Craig Smith, athletic director Mark Harlan has found his replacement — Alex Jensen.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first of multiple national reporters to report that the former Runnin’ Ute star who’s spent more than a decade in the NBA as an assistant coach — first with the Utah Jazz, then most recently with the Dallas Mavericks — will replace Smith as Utah’s head coach.
