The Utah Jazz have to look for a new head coach. Quin Snyder has resigned, according to media reports.
He had the “strong feeling” that the team “needed a new voice” to move forward, said the 55-year-old Snyder, who was in Salt Lake City for eight years (record: 372:264 wins). Snyder is actually tied up for two more years, and the Jazz had also tried to persuade him to stay on in recent weeks. Unsuccessfully.
Synder, who is on the road to recovery after hip surgery, is likely to be a sought-after candidate on the coaching market in the NBA after his recovery.
The Jazz he coached around superstars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert had always reached the play-offs in the past six years, but had never gone far.
This year, the Jazz lost 4-2 in the first round to the Dallas Mavericks.
