I’m required to note that that’s Provo High grad Kyle Whittingham
Update: Kyle Whittingham has agreed to a five-year deal to become Michigan’s next head coach, sources tell me and @DanWetzel. The deal is expected to be announced later today.

Also can't thank @spencerhall enough for being so gracious to let us roll forward w/ something he built with his own two hands 16 years ago. SCH wasn't just Spencer's baby or brand, it was HIM early on. His willingness to trust others to build on it is really cool and generous.

BREAKING: Salt Lake City has not only crushed the all-time October rain record, but is now chasing down the all-time WETTEST MONTH ever recorded in city history! Only halfway through the month… INCREDIBLE! #utwx

Best career wishes to Angie Treasure my colleague and friend on leaving the Utah Jazz, after nine years of extraordinary digital writing content. Angie's smart, informative, creative, funny and sincere, all in the same conversation. I loved talking hoops with her. Much respect!

In Utah in just the last few weeks we’ve seen:
1. Pattern® go public - $2.6B market cap
2. Angel Studios go public w/ $1B market cap
3. Filevine raised Utah largest ever round $400m at $3B valuation
4. DX acquired for $1B
5. Torus raised $200m
6. Run Ventures announced a $290m early stage fund
No doubt I missed some.
It’s a special place to build. And we’ve got a lot to prove but very cool to see these companies doing big things.

In 1987, the rookie league Salt Lake Trappers made baseball history by winning 29 consecutive games.
But that's only half the story — a new documentary explores how the Trappers' winning streak shaped the rest of their lives.
My story for @Deseret:
deseret.com/sports/2025/08/1…
This movie was so fun, huge congratulations to everyone involved, they've got an instant classic on their hands. Hoping The Streak gets picked up and shown everywhere.
This movie was so awesome! Trip down memory lane with Paul James, Steve Cyphers, Steve Brown and the 87 Salt Lake Trappers! This needs to be seen by all @SaltLakeBees fans and baseball fans. Make it happen Bees!

My heart is broken, w/ the passing away of my friend Frank Layden. Former HC/GM of the Utah Jazz, in 1984 was honored as NBA's Coach/Executive of the year. Frank hired me in 1989, for the Jazz, and I'm forever grateful. Brooklyn, N.Y. and Niagara U proud, R.I.P. in hoop heaven!

frank spent nine decades developing bits, which in and of itself is a life well lived

If you’re a child of the 80s/90s, you’ve undoubtedly seen it, but if not, and you want to get a sense of Frank Layden, watch Dazzling Dunks and Basketball Bloopers.
A staple of so many childhood NBA junkies.

"Yes."
"Mark me down, " he would say.
He spoke two other times to classes of mine, two hours each.
He spoke of the responsibility of voting, making others better, Jackie Robinson, the privileges of being Americans and attending college.

As Gordie Chiesa just told me about Frank Layden,
"He treated everyone the same, from a custodian to the mayor of New York City."
