What's new

Hawks want Quin

Wow, just wow, McMillan out, Snyder in, for five years no less, and I thought the Wolves Brain trust was the dumbest in the league.:rolleyes:
To be fair, at the beginning Quin was really quite good. He did some different things and seemed to bring a different view to the organization when it was unknown exactly what we had and our key guys were young and inexperienced. He makes me think of some managers I have hired, who seem to excel when things are rough around the edges, like building new teams or developing and changing work culture, but when things are flowing smoothly they struggle to keep things moving in the right direction. Some people do better with some chaos around them and then not as good when wholesale changes turn into fine-tuning and maintaining incremental gains. Snyder seems to fit that mold.

Yep I can understand your perspective on that. My view is that they needed a disciplinarian and went out and hired a used car salesman. (Somebody like Will Hardy that likes to work and will yank yer a$$ no matter what your team status is when you’re going rogue is what the situation called for IMO.) And then they went and gave the guy The Godfather package Five year plan like he’s Pop or something! What achievement index justified that level of commitment?

But whatever the case, Snyder will have to come up with something completely new because no way that the old Utah Jazz game plan is going to work in Atlanta with their personnel.
 
I think Quin's mindset is a bit of a "all in" type of mode, whatever the decision or choice, it is 100% in that direction.

Like his first couple years was all player development then they made the playoffs and it was all defense, based on the players/personnel and the Team was top 1-5 in defense. Then after the FO made changes to get more offense he changed to all in on offense and the Jazz were top 1-3 in offense.
 
Looks like Quin's coaching career is picking up right where it left off: Blowing double digit 4th qtr leads.
Quins response:

“Uhhh actually no… because numbers and stuff… also… they were up by double digits so give some credit and sometimes Trae and Collins eat lunch together so nothing to see here… where’s my ****ing lip balm!!!!”
