The longtime Larry H. Miller Group of Companies executive and sports industry veteran joins the Jazz front office in a senior management position and will report directly to general manager Dennis Lindsey.

Wow, that's a lot of corporate experience. But what does that have to do with Basketball Operations? Isn't Basketball Operations have more to do with player movement and acquisition? I don't see any coaching or scouting experience.

So all their businesses they send their best to the Jazz, I'd say Jazz's well being is more important than any other part of their umbrella.
