It’s been 15 years since the Quin Snyder experience expired at Missouri. But it’s OK to make a couple admissions.
One, this guy can really coach.
Two, getting fired at Mizzou might have been the best thing for his career.
Snyder, who’s somehow 54 years old but hasn’t lost his boyish looks, untamed hair or trim figure, rarely talks publicly about his time at Mizzou from 1999-2006. Now in his seventh season as head coach of the Utah Jazz, Snyder is famously private when it comes to anything beyond the game on the floor. Last summer during quarantine, Snyder taped a five-minute video for the Jazz’ YouTube page on how to bake his favorite childhood dessert.
