SALT LAKE CITY — While Matt Mooney is hoping the right situation will bring him into the NBA — and, hey, why not with the Utah Jazz? — there was a plausible scenario that could have resulted in him already playing for a Beehive State team.
After his second season at South Dakota — where he'd garnered All-Summit League first-team honors in 2017 and '18 — the Coyotes' head coach took a job at Utah State.
