Former Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski is fulfilling a goal to jump to the pros by being hired to lead the Salt Lake City Stars, the Utah Jazz’s G League affiliate, sources told ESPN.
Wojciechowski, who has been living in the Salt Lake City area since departing Marquette in 2021, has been eager to make the leap into pro coaching and now lands with a franchise replete with young players and three first-round picks in the 2023 NBA draft.
He had spent time around the Jazz organization over the past two years, especially in the 2021-22 season because of his longtime relationship with former Jazz coach Quin Snyder. Wojciechowski spent time this past season attending some Jazz practices and building a relationship with coach Will Hardy.
