SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Jazz players will wear a Frank Layden patch on their jerseys this season to commemorate one of the most influential figures in club history. Layden, the team's former coach, general manager and president, died July 9 at 93. The name “FRANK” will be on the left chest, and players and coaches will wear a “1” circle patch on their warm-ups beginning Oct. 8 in a preseason game against Houston.
