Quin Snyder has been pretty quiet since leaving the Utah Jazz after last season, but almost everyone assumes it’s just a break for the talented former Blue Devil. He’ll be back in coaching as soon as an NBA job opens that he likes.
In the meantime, he’s been helping his friend Darvin Ham. who has a tough job with the Los Angeles Lakers. The two were assistants with LA in 2011-12.
Despite some very expensive talent in LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, the Lakers are currently 11-15 and two spots out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
