Retirement
Layden retired from coaching the Jazz in 1989 to serve full-time as the franchise Team President and General Manager, hiring former NBA player and then Jazz assistant Jerry Sloan as the new head coach.
Layden once served briefly as a consultant for the New York Knicks, where his son Scott Layden served as general manager for a time.
Layden is remembered for once trying to start a non NBA player for the second half of a game, after the non NBA player hit a half court shot during the half time of the game.
