#3 Quin Snyder extends his contract with the Utah Jazz

Quin Snyder has signed a new long-term deal with the Utah Jazz

Despite immense competition in the Western Conference, Quin Snyder has guided the Utah Jazz to the playoffs in each of the past three seasons. The 52-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best coaches in the NBA, and Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Jazz has handed him a new long-term extension:

Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder has agreed to a long-term contract extension, league sources tell ESPN. Snyder had two years left on his deal, and a new contract extends multiple years beyond that term.

Snyder was hired by the Jazz as head coach back in 2014 and has recorded a 227-183 regular-season record with the team. Utah was eliminated by the Houston Rockets in the first round of the 2019 playoffs, although expectations are high entering the new season following the acquisition of Mike Conley.
