FWIW I like what I've heard from Snyer. But quite frankly I'd much rather have Ettore as a head-coach. Oh well. This is a lot better than Boylen I suppose.

Exactly how Greg, Dennis and Randy want us to react.

From what I recall, Quinn Snyder was Ettore's assistant at CSKA. So they have a connection in that aspect, and it makes sense that Snyder would want to pull him over form Europe. Shows that he's smart, and knows his meat & potatoes. I like that.

Snyder also has a JD, and an MBA. History with the Spurs, impressive D-League record, etc. Much better hire than the other coaching hires we've seen this season IMO.


I really REALLY hope we bring along Messina now though. Ugh.

Quin Synder lead Missouri to four straight NCAA Tournament's and made the Elite 8 as well the farthest a Missouri team has ever gone. Won Rookie Coach of the Year by Basketball Times his first year at Missouri.

Was also the head coach for the NBADL Austin Torros. With them he made the D-Leage finals once, the semi-finals twice, won Coach of the Year as well. Has the most wins for a D-League coach ever in a 3-year span.

Was an assistant for Duke, the Clippers, 76ers, Lakers, Hawks, and CSKA Moscow.

*Also played for Coach K at Duke.
 
I think it's great to take a shot with Snyder.

And I would love Messing to be a coach for the Jazz, but only as the top dog. He seems to want to make his mark as a HC in the league. That wouldn't create an ideal situation for Snyder or any other rookie HC.

Good stuff.

Is he a defensive specialist? I know less about him than any other name that has been brought up.
