Quin Snyder is the new coach

Both Brad and Alex have already "been there, done that." After the Flash, Jones coached SA's team (succeeding Snyder) and won a D-League championship, IINM.

It's interesting how fate/luck/kismet...whatever you want to call it, sometimes sets a person on a incredible journey. Had it not been for Sloan changing his mind about coaching the Evansville team, he would have perished in that horrible plane crash in 1977. As for Snyder, he tucked his tail between his legs and moved to Austin after his downfall at Missouri. It was a move completely independent of basketball; he liked the city and wanted to get away. But fate intervened. The Toros had just been sold by David Kahn, a good friend of Snyder to the SA Spurs. And the Toros coach, Dennis Johnson, had passed away a few months previously during a workout. Kahn got in touch with Quin and then recommended him to the SA management group (RC Buford and Dell Demps). I believe Dennis Lindsey was hired as SA's assistant GM just a few months later.

I just want to know how this word made its way to English spoken countries.

Nevermind, I found it. It was popularized by a play, a number of movies, a musical, and a song by Elvis. There is also a Marvel and a DC character by the same name.

Coach Snyder said he had texted a few of the players, would be calling others this week and would be meeting up with Trey later today.

Pretty good interview, by DJ and PK from this morning. Snyder talks about players, names many of them, talks about potential for Pick and Roll with Trey, Hayward and Alec. Talks about Jazz defensive struggles from last season and how to fix it. How he will get FAs to come to utah and why they will like it. Starts off with draft stuff and quick assement of Aaron Gordon.

So can we cross Smart off the list?
I think it's good that Snyder was a PG in college; he and Trey can speak the same language.

Glad to see that Trey is working in Utah. For all of his physical deficiencies, the guy has heart and is a gamer. He wants to work hard and get better. The sooner our point guards and big men can meet up with Snyder, the sooner he can get them to buy into his way of doing things.

Also, with so much of an emphasis on his pick and roll knowledge. . . does anyone else think that it's pretty freaking awesome that he has at his disposal the knowledge and experience of the best pick and roll tandem of all time? If I were him, I'd have Karl and John put on clinics for this young team helping to teach them the ins and outs of how to run and defend it. It's about time that we had a coach who appreciates the value of what those guys are famous for. I really hope that he taps into that resource.
