He wasn't my first choice, but he doesn't bother me at all. People rave about his basketball intellect. Hopefully his player management is just as good.

Snyder as Head Coach has pretty much been finalized at this point.Jody Genessy of Deseret News reported that both Brad Jones and Alex Jensen would be taking over increased roles on the sideline:
Alex Jensen and Brad Jones are both former D-League coaches with developmental responsibilities and backgrounds.
If they can lock down Messina as the head assistant and then get a solid defensive coach, I might have to be happy with how things played out.
Messina is still the key for me.
Please change the title to "Quin" not Quinn. It's one n.
This.
I'm on this boat as well. Dunno much about the guy, don't love it, don't hate it.
DL hinted at going 'young' with the coach - someone the players can 'grow with' (ala Scotty Brooks).
This is the strongest indication yet that we're in for a pretty long 'rebuilding' process.
