Why is this still a thing? Pace has no correlation to winning.

During training camp,

Snyder would like to see his team play at a faster pace this season, especially with the added depth. Added pace means added possessions, which leads to added depth coming more into play, which Snyder hopes can lead to his team wearing the opposition down when it matters.

As such, much of the scrimmage portion of Tuesday's morning practice was played with a 14-second shot clock, instead of the normal 24 second clock. That forced quicker tempo and reactions from his team. Snyder said he wants to run more initial pick-and-roll sets out of transition, and forcing his team to shoot the ball within 14 seconds was a way to get the players into that mindset.

Every year more than half the league says that they're going to play at a faster tempo. It's just bait to get the fans excited. You play at the pace that suits your personnel. I'm pretty sure Quin said the same thing the year before, nothing changed. He's said multiple times that pace has no correlation to winning, and he's absolutely correct.

He wants to get the offense starter earlier, it doesn't change the identity of this team. We want to move the ball on offense to attack from multiple angles and defensively we want to force teams to score against our set defense. The philosophy hasn't changed, and as long as it stays the same we will play at a very slow pace.

I have many criticisms of Quin, but people need to get over this idea that playing faster = better team. Besides, Jerry Sloan never coached a Stockton and Malone team that played above the league average in pace. Should we have looked for a different coach then? Did he squander our altitude advantage by not playing fast?
 
Jazz are 24th in assists per possession. I hate Quin the Eskimo's offense.

If he really wanted this then Shelvin Mack wouldn't see any floor time.
