Quin Snyder is moving on from the Utah Jazz. So what’s next for a franchise that has had to make few head coaching hires in its existence. The answer could very well shape the future for the Jazz. And the story, is here – theathletic.com/3350824/2022/0… – 1:40 AM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
I’m grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to cover and talk to Quin Snyder over the last 8 years.
I suspect there’s an alternate universe where he’s a Supreme Court justice or a world leader, but he ended up in this weird corner of the universe.
He was always very kind to me. – 12:57 AM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Just thinking about some big Quin Snyder decisions/moments, feel free to add your own:
– Essentially believing in Rudy Gobert, who seemed so raw under Corbin, to be a transformational starting center in year 2
– Finding 1,000 ways to attack Carmelo’s defense in the OKC series – 12:47 AM

With Quin Snyder resigning, imagine Knicks assistant Johnnie Bryant gets courtesy interview but Danny Ainge doesn’t really know him. If he’s seriously considered, Donovan Mitchell is influencing the hire. – 7:30 PM

I think this move makes a ton of sense for the @Utah Jazz and Quin Snyder.
Jazz have a pathway to try something new without starting a full rebuild.
For Snyder, there’s a real chance Philly, Atlanta, San Antonio, and potentially even Vegas and Seattle have open jobs next year. – 6:14 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
With Quin Snyder stepping down, Terry Stotts would be an obvious name to look at. But I think the Jazz take their time and conduct a thorough search. I also think they will be open to considering assistants – 6:09 PM

That’s big news! Quin Snyder stepped down as Utah Jazz head coach. After 8 years and 6 Playoff appearances Snyder terminated his journey at Jazz. He’s one of the most respectable coaches in this league. Interesting how gonna effect this move. #TakeNote

Quin Snyder remains eager to coach but felt that it was time for a change, both for himself and the Jazz, sources told @SInow. The question any incoming coach is going to have: Does Utah plan to build or are the Jazz headed for a rebuild? – 5:55 PM

Jon Hamm @JonMHamm
I bet Quin Snyder takes a year off and then returns to his roots as the head coach at Missouri.
That’s my unique take now top that someone – 5:52 PM
David Locke @DLocke09
Thanks Quin Snyder for an incredible ride. As a basketball junkie, watching you work was amazing. The hoops conversations always went to another level. Being able to call the games of your teams was an absolute honor. Wishing you only the best. – 5:49 PM

More on this storyline
Anthony Chiang: Pat Riley said he’ll meet with Erik Spoelstra about various things this offseason, including: “How can Bam be developed in a way to improve his consistent shot ability every night? Getting 15 shots every night, quality shots that he can get and create.” -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / June 6, 2022
Eric Walden: Danny Ainge says he has “a few” candidates in mind for the next coach, claims that there hasn’t been much internal discussion yet about it. He did allow that he knew Quin stepping down was a possibility and started having some guys in mind, “but I don’t know any of them well.” -via Twitter @tribjazz / June 6, 2022
Eric Walden: Ryan Smith said the team would be thorough in its coaching search. Danny Ainge said there was no specific timeline for having a new coach in place: “It’s important we get it right. We have big shoes to fill.” -via Twitter @tribjazz / June 6, 2022
