Five Candidates Reportedly Emerge for Jazz's Head Coach Vacancy
After the Jazz announced that longtime coach Quin Snyder resigned, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Knicks assistant Johnnie Bryant, Jazz assistant Alex Jensen, Celtics assistant Will Hardy, Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin and former Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts are among the initial candidates for the position.
Snyder was Utah’s coach since 2014, making it the team's first regime change in quite some time.
Of all the reported candidates, Stotts is the only one with experience as a head coach in the NBA. He mutually parted ways with Portland on June 21 and was reportedly being considered for the Lakers coaching position before it went to Darvin Ham.
