Quin Snyder is leading the Jazz to the playoffs without Gordon Hayward. Larry Krystkowiak took the Utes to third in the Pac-12 without Kyle Kuzma and won coach of the year in the conference.
I think both are great coaches. I think they both are excellent tacticians. Both clearly are special at player development. Here’s the (small) difference: Snyder, in my mind, is one of the top five coaches in the NBA. Larry K obviously is one of the top three coaches in the Pac-12. The NBA is bigger than college basketball. So Quin wins by a hair.
