Great questions. . .

And I have one to add. . . Will he increase the offensive tempo?

I've been hoping for a coach who will use the athleticism this team has combined with the altitude to give them a huge advantage over everyone who comes to SLC. Is this guy going to be that kind of coach?

For me it's not about tempo more then it's about running a system owning it and getting the players to execute that system. I'd rather the jazz run a half court system and get high quality shots with lots of assists. Like the Spurs and the jazz under Sloan, and speeding up the tempo from time to time when the situation calls for it. If your system is run by a guy who doesn't know how to run a system, then yes, you should be uptempo, otherwise slow the tempo, get good shots and layups, and play good defense. This is usually a championship scenario. Uptempo style will win lots of games in reg. season but a good half court system will win in the playoffs.

The more I read, the more I like it. SMART BASKETBALL. Seems exactly like what I'd expect DL to do with his coaching hire. He sounds like a guy who understands offense really well AND has quality experience at the European level as well. A big plus for a team like Utah IMO. If he can hire good assistants, then I think that this team could be solid under his watch.

I like that he's got a fiery side as well. I think that's something that the players have needed desperately these past three years.
 
From Wiki:

Quinn Snyder is a homeyennis dream. During his 3-year tenure in Austin, Snyder compiled more wins and guided more players to the NBA than any other coach in the D-League[13] with GATORADE Call-Ups that included Malik Hairston, Pops Mensah-Bonsu, DeMarcus Nelson, Marcus Williams, Dwayne Jones, Curtis Jerrells, and Alonzo Gee - who was also named NBA Development League Rookie of the Year in 2010.[citation needed]

Let's just hope he can actually run a system.

Kanter was terrible at P&R so far. I hope if he stays Snyder will spend lots of time with him working on it and on pick and pop as well.
 
Another thing I love is that there is no doubt this is Lindsey's guy. They've had ties a while. Lindsey putting his stamp on team.

I would be shocked if he did not. I mean, the Jazz still lack the bailout talent required to run faster sets, but pretty much everything is faster than Corbin's side pnr into drive and dish to the three point line, then step a few in for a long two.
