The now former Jazz coach explained his reasoning for stepping down after eight years.
The Utah Jazz became the fourth team with a head coaching vacancy in the NBA this summer on Sunday afternoon when Quin Snyder announced his resignation from the team after eight seasons at the helm. Under Snyder’s guidance the Jazz became a consistent presence in the top half of the West during the regular season, reaching the playoffs six straight years, but never made it beyond the second round, with three first round exits including this year to the Mavs. Entering the offseason, the Jazz faced the question of “where do we go from here?” Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert’s strained relationship has been discussed for a few years now, and after another early exit it’s clear that duo simply isn’t working as hoped.
