OT: Utah Jazz hire Quin Snyder
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11044243/quin-snyder-soon-named-utah-…
Former Mizzou head coach, most recently an assistant with the Atlanta Hawks.
At least the payment to players and escorts will be legal.
That doesn't go over too well in Utah.
Quin Snyder is certainly unique in that he will be perhaps the only coach in the NBA who is a JD and an MBA, so there is that, of course. Another thing that I just realized is that this will only be the third coach for the Jazz since 1988, most of that time being that of Jerry Sloan (Corbin having only last a few years then, of course). I wonder how many franchises in the NBA can say something similar.
Pop has been with the Spurs since '96 and even they have had 6 coaches in that time.
I'm not even going to try to think of another team...Spo is the 2nd longest tenured coach in the league right now.
...ah, I got some! The Brooklyn Nets, OKC Thunder and the new Charlotte Hornets. I know, I know...I cheated.
Only similar pro team that comes to mind is the Steelers
Belichick has been the head coach of the Patriots since 2000
Snyder is a scumbag
I think he looks more like a weasel.
I have a buddy who has know Snyder for 35 years. Says the guy has been a sleezeball since childhood.
