In a move aiming to boost their strategic game, the University of Utah's men's basketball program has pulled Jordan Mason into the mix as their new head video coordinator. Alex Jensen, head coach of the Runnin' Utes, is banking on Mason's recent stint with the G-League outfit, the OKC Blue, to propel their video analysis and player development efforts to higher ground.
Mason's role with the Utah team will be pivotal, given his background with the OKC Blue during the 2024-25 season, where he not only managed video operations but also dipped his hands into designing player-centric workouts that complement the team's overall strategy. Despite his involvement with preseason drills and facilitating the player evaluations process, it's his knack for unpacking game film that's caught Jensen's eye. "We're happy to have Jordan join our Runnin' Utes family," Jensen stated, per UtahUtes.com. "His ability to connect with our players having recently played at the Division I level will be very beneficial."
Before his professional leap into the NBA's lower echelons, Mason cut his teeth at Wagner College, where he played for the Seahawks from 2019 to 2023, a period highlighted by a first-place finish in their conference during his sophomore year. It's this blend of hands-on experience and behind-the-scenes know-how that Mason is eager to channel into his new position. "I'm ready to hit the ground running and contribute to the program in any way I can to help it succeed," Mason told UtahUtes.com following his appointment.
