Jazz head coach Quin Snyder has resigned after eight seasons in Utah, the team announced Sunday.
In a release obtained by Sports Illustrated’s Howard Beck, Jazz owner Ryan Smith confirmed the news of Snyder’s surprising departure shortly after ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported he planned to step down. Snyder, 55, recently led Utah to a 49–33 record and trip to the postseason, which ended in six games against the Mavericks.
“Quin Snyder has embodied what Jazz basketball is for the last eight years,“ Smith said in a statement. “The tireless work ethic and attention to detail Quin displayed each day is a testament to the professional he is.
