Quin Snyder is the new coach

My question is, does Quin love his team?

And what does he think of a loss? Just one game?

You are right; that isn't sleaze, that's compassion. The NCAA: Where good Samaritans become road kill.

And not to totally dismiss his violations, there was a small cash gift made by one of his assistants (the $250). The NCAA WAS appropriate in handing down sanctions. It was a lack of institutional control at Mizzou. I'll call it naivete by Snyder. He came from Duke and Coach K, where the basketball program, at least, has always been squeaky clean. Coach K hardly needs to recruit...everyone WANTS to play for him.

What I like about Snyder is he took 1 1/2 years off, decided he STILL wanted to coach basketball instead of practicing law, then humbled himself and went to coach in the D-League. From a rising "star" in college coaching to making a small fraction of his previous salary. He's also gone through some personal turmoil in terms of a divorce, which was finalized right before he began coaching in the D-League. I'm sure problems arose during his Mizzou period if that's the case. I know when I went through marital problems and an eventual divorce, I was a mental mess. Buckled down and finished my current semester, but then took a couple years off school. I just couldn't focus and went through some tough periods emotionally.

Anti-Quinn douchbags already coming out the woodworks. It'll be fun watching y'all cry through the rough patches next season. It's almost guaranteed to be another **** of a year.

And to think you call Snyder naive.

There's no such thing as a squeaky clean program in the NCAA, they don't exist.


/maybe BYU, but who gives a **** about BYU?
 
I kind of actually dig Quin's mannerisms. You get the hint that he might just break a clipboard in half and stab an opposing player in the neck if the situation presents itself.
