Utah Jazz & NBA beat writer for The Salt Lake Tribune. Oh, and now I also write a data column once a week for the Trib. Opinions are mine, not the Trib's.

In general, POBO (Austin Ainge) job title goes above GM (Justin Zanik). The Jazz are unique in that they have a CEO of basketball operations (Danny Ainge) presumably at the top. But also hopefully those sorts of questions can be asked at the 3 PM presser.

I’ll say this: - There’s a lot of research out there that shows nepotistic hiring tends to result in less efficient businesses overall than opening up those same job slots to a full job search - That being said, Austin Ainge’s resume is reasonable for this position

Will Hardy quote on Austin Ainge: “During my time with the Celtics, I really enjoyed working alongside Austin and was able to gain a great appreciation of his basketball insight and acumen. Having Austin to help guide our group as we continue to grow is huge for our program.”
