OT: Quin Snyder named Jazz new head coach

[cliftonparksufan]

I know there was a post last week about Quin Snyder which I couldn't find but I guess he is very highly regarded as there were a few teams interested in him. As a Jazz fan let's hope he does well (although somewhat skeptical).

I'm just glad they didn't go for Jim Boylen.

Yeah, that seemed to be the consensus of Utahn's.

Pretty bad college coach but I supposed he's paid his dues at the professional level.

He's at least known for player development. Whenever people talked about Boylen it wasn't about what he does, it was about where he's been.

What a strange hire, when was the last time he actually coached?

You'd have to go all the way back to this past season...when he was an assistant for the Hawks.

I meant as a head coach.

I meant as a head coach.

Quin Snyder actually has more head coaching experience than Jason Kidd, Jacque Vaughn, Scott Brooks, Frank Vogel, and the current coaches of the teams playing in the finals* when they were hired for their respective jobs.

*Actually Greg Popovich was head coach of a division 3 school for about eight years so that's not entirely accurate.

he's a psychopath.
