SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Jazz have signed head coach Ty Corbin to a multiyear contract less than a month after he succeeded Jerry Sloan, who resigned in his 23rd season as head coach.
Terms of the deal were not announced Wednesday.
Jazz officials made it clear upon Sloan’s Feb. 10 resignation that Corbin would be their coach of the future.
Corbin, who had served as an assistant under Sloan since the 2004-05 season, is the seventh head coach in Jazz history.
Jazz President Randy Rigby said in a statement that Corbin is widely recognized as one of the brightest young coaches in the league. He says the team is thrilled to have him as its head coach.
