Ten days after firing Craig Smith, Utah has landed its next men's head basketball coach. The school is in the final stages of hiring Dallas Mavericks assistant Alex Jensen, a source confirmed to CBS Sports.

At the end of February, Utah basketball decided to part ways with fourth-year head coach Craig Smith. The move came as a shock to many, as the Utes had a winning record and had just come off two huge wins against Kansas and Kansas State. However, in the eyes of athletic director Mark Harlan, change was necessary.

Alex Jensen will take over for Craig Smith, who was fired last month after nearly four seasons with the program.
