What's new

Quin Snyder is the new coach

Pop, Coach K, and possibly a bit of Sloan mixed in, Utah should be a in good hands with Snyder. I would expect him to run a similar offense to the Spurs.

Yeah…he's a mix of 3 of the greatest basketball coaches of all time. Good job on tempering your expectations.
 
No one seems to be able to tell me what a cown is:)

According to the urban dictionary it's as follows

"Derrick Favors tells the tribune that he can't wait to start working with new head coach Quin Snyder".

"John Lucas tells the tribune that he played against Quin Snyder led teams at Oklahoma State and that he loved his uptempo system".
 
I hadn't been paying attention to the coaching search AT ALL, and when I heard it was Snyder I just remembered he coached at Mizzou and was thought of as shady.

Couldn't care less if he did shady stuff at Mizzou, thats just literally all I know about him.
 
Snyder seems to have run/been through the Spurs playbook as well which I'm sure is a major consideration for the hire

Snyder wasn't exclusively running his own sets during his three years in Austin (because the Spurs bought the Toros for a reason), but he was able to include wrinkles of an intricate offense he's devised while coaching the Toros. Your's truly was never privy to a playbook, unfortunately, but I can tell you that Snyder is an expert when it comes to the plain old pick-and-roll.

Also he was an assistant under Budenholzer last season and the Hawks' offense was beautifully to watch with perfect floor spacing and timing.


If Snyder can re-create that for the Jazz I'm pretty excited about the next season.
 
Favors said, "I’m looking forward to working with him and looking forward to being a great team this year. I think everybody’s relieved now that we know who the coach is."
 
Expect "Spurs" offense to be implemented with the Jazz as it seems Snyder knows it like the back of his hands being the coach of the Austin Toros for 3 years.


Not to mention the whole of last season helping Budenholzer (Pop's head assist. for 15 years) implement the Spurs offense to the Hawks. He would have experienced first hand how to implement such a system to a Hawks team that exceeded all expectations, made the playoffs and gave the Pacers a run for their money.
 
Messina waiting for the call

Well if the lakers don't hire him, I am pretty sure he is going to be here. Sounds like he might be thinking more of a family place as well(just my thoughts).

BASKETBALL / Moscow goodbye, Ettore Messina dreams of the NBA

Ettore Messina, the Italian basketball winningest coach, and one of the most titled of all time in Europe, will leave CSKA Moscow after the final VTB (the League of cestistici most renowned club in Eastern Europe and north) of the Next week, closing his second two-year cycle on the bench of the team of the Red Army. A farewell rewarding but not without bitterness. And with a dream overseas, after the press - even the U.S. - gave it as a candidate before the bench of the Utah Jazz and then to that of the Lakers, where it has been as assistant coach. In the case, it would become the first European NBA coach. "They are just rumors, and sometimes do more harm than good if you do not go anywhere. However, as long as I do not see I do not think, although I hope to get a few phone calls from overseas: I would love to return to the U.S., but we should talk about it calmly in the family, "says the former head coach. What is the budget for the two cycles per CSKA (2005-2009, 2012-2014)? "Two teams and two very different clubs. In the first season to get to the Final Four was a great dream, and managed to win two Euroleague titles. Now it seems almost certain to get there, and looks forward to win another Euroleague, but it does not work that way. Every day you have to tie your shoes "'. In what sense? "Since 2009, when I finished my first cycle, the club has changed five trainers, a sign of the difficulty of finding that magical symbiosis on which to build a successful sporting philosophy founded on certain values. I liked the one created in my first cycle, but that has changed with the new president: there was no sharing with him on the principles which must govern a sports club, too many differences on the 'organization and managing it all. Despite this, we arrived twice in the Final Four, a step away from the final, and, if all goes well, we will win the national championship this year. " The joys and the sorrows the greatest of all these years? "Among the joys certainly the two Euroleague titles, but also won the national title last year with a team decimated this year's victory in Game 5 with the Panatinaikos and always in Game 5 with Lokomotiv after losing Game 1 and 2. Among the disappointments, the interview very unpleasant mocking the president of the club after defeat against Maccabi in the Euroleague semifinals in Milan (with the accusation that the coach had not been able to create a good team and excessive authoritarianism, ed) . But I have paid off the fans in the next trip to Krasnodar, with the signs 'Messina nash trener' (Messina is our coach) and 'Kriapa nash Captain' (Kriapa is our captain). A great satisfaction. " A judgment on the basketball court and the Russian news? "A sport grown a lot thanks to the enthusiasm, to investments that we dream, in halls very beautiful, young talents, which could be sought and exploited better in such a large country, even forming a class coaches of youth teams. As for the press, I have always found to be correct, even in criticism, and never fall in search of scoops or gossip. " The best league in Europe? "From 4-5 years surely to Spanish, thanks to investments, halls and the high number of Spanish players, in which the audience can identify with." And that Italian? "The competition is reduced, now after the long 'dictatorship of Siena could start to Milan, I see favorite for the championship." The League basketball seems increasingly in crisis, after the arrest of President Minucci. "His arrest was not expecting it. The problem, however, is not names but the lack of powers: the president of the League, unlike the NBA commissioner, is only a mediator between the different opinions of several presidents and owners, and the compromise is not going anywhere . They could also put Renzi, but without powers .. "'. A prediction for the final between Miami and San Antonio, who yesterday won race 1., "I hope they win the Spurs and I think this year we can do it. But it is an open challenge: if they play technically, athletically Miami is superior. The key players will be to outline '
