SALT LAKE CITY — In an effort to combat racial injustice and find solutions for reform, the National Basketball Coaches Association has formed a committee, which includes Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder.
The NBCA issued a statement Monday morning condemning systemic racism and vowing to work toward ways to enact change in NBA communities.
“Witnessing the murder of George Floyd in cold blood and in broad daylight has traumatized our nation,” the statement read. “But the reality is that African Americans are targeted and victimized on a daily basis. As NBA coaches, we cannot treat this as an isolated incident of outrage.
