Quin Snyder is the new coach

Offensively I think we know what he will bring.

I wonder what he will bring defensively. Missouri was a full-court pressure team. But he has been around the pro's long enough to make some smart adjustments.

I wonder what Snyder's opinion of our young guys is. How many of them just became trade bait.
 
OK. Quin Snyder. He looks like his brother would be Lyle Lovett. There are worse choices for head coach but I am not sold on this guy.

Pressure would be good. Traps and pinches. Using size and length to break up passing lanes. I just hope that they have a defensive philosophy, because they were awful under Corbin.
 
Reading more and more into this I'm pretty happy now with the Snyder hire over Messina for several reasons:


1. Snyder has had an extensive experience in the NBA with various teams dealing with various NBA personnel. Messina has close to none.

2. Snyder had worked extensively with the Spurs offense with the Austin Toros and having spent the last year with Budenholzer trying to implement it on a team of new players. As opposed to Messina's, the Spurs system is a proven system that seems to have worked well with the Hawks this year with limited talent.

3. Snyder is younger and I think can relate much better to our extremely young team (as opposed to Messina who is older and is used to coaching more mature players)

Snyder seems to have run/been through the Spurs playbook as well which I'm sure is a major consideration for the hire



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.

He worked under larry brown too

Sure seems to have some fire to him (and maybe a fun side as well.) Depending on how he puts together his staff, this might end up being a decent hire long-term.

With that said, having your prospects narrowed down to Boylen, Gentry, Griffin and Jones might have been a brilliant way for Jazzfanz to actually root for the team to hire Snyder. Did we just get social engineered?

Snyder may be a great pick for HC, but I'm bummed that the other 3 finalist were so pedestrian.
