I understand giving him the benefit of the doubt, but he hasn't exactly done anything over his tenure to suggest that he's a great coach. He hasn't improved upon his weaknesses so the same problems that existed day one are still here. I don't care who is on your roster, the minimum requirement is that your players play hard and play together, but Quin has failed big time in the department. He's had plenty of valid excuses, but that's just not good enough for me.

Don't get me wrong, there are probably 5-10 coaches that are worse then him, but in order for this franchise to succeed they need a premier coach. Quin is far from that.

Basically the only reason Quin has a longer leash with fans is because he sounds smarter.

He did win us all over at first with his refreshing long winded and intelligent takes. He authors papers on the pick n roll. But like I said when he was hired, players will eventually tune out the teachers if they don't bring anything more. And I'm still unsure if Quin brings more.

Beyond Xs and Os, Jerry was a great motivator. I have yet to see that from Snyder minus his one tirade early on. All great coaches can motivate. Quin doesn't seem to be a button pusher. He's too nice.

Give him a full roster and we'll see. When George was around he was playing some of the best ball of his career, and we had our best start since the D-Will days.

I've been critical of him over a few things, especially some of the line-ups he puts on the floor, but I agree with this. Let's give him a healthy roster and see what he does with it.

Whats the jazz record with hayward, hill, favors, and gobert (the jazz "big 4" imo) all on the court together?
Undefeated I think.
 
He reminds me of Frank Vogel, a remarkable coach off the court but poor decision maker in games. Still Snyder might improve, also it's tough to coach the current roster.

The Jazz were playing smooth basketball just a while ago, beat the Spurs on the road. 2-3 injuries were all right then as we have a deep team but now we've got 5 injured and 3 sick/fatigued/not fully healed. Actually only Gobert looks 100% ready, that's 1 out of 5 starters, guys. Let's discuss the coaching when the team is back fully which I'm afraid might not be possible any time soon.
 
According to Ricky Hood, Rodney likes the coach because he's a straight shooter. So he's got that going for him. He did say however that he thought Snyder's job was on the line if he doesn't get us into the playoffs this season. I think that's a realistic assessment and I for one wouldn't be upset if Snyder couldn't get the job done and got replaced because of it. Beyond that, I'm not the one to evaluate his performance thus far as we haven't had our core group healthy enough to establish any continuity.

His O and D sets are lazy sets. Utah runs very little set plays. Most possessions look like this. We walk the ball across half court we do a passing weave above the 3 point line, we do this for 20 seconds the jack up a contested 3 pointer..... its terrible basketball. Ugly to watch! And when the 3 is not falling what do they do? THEY SHOOT MORE OF THEM!!! cause getting to the paint would be a terrible idea..... The only guys I have seen making buckets in the restricted area these last 4 games is Exum, gobert and lyles. And they seem to be looking fairly good over the last few games.
I think Quinn is a great players coach. but if you cant get your team to execute your offense, Especially when your one of the youngest teams scoring at the slowest pace in my eyes he should be worried about his job. Especially since DEF is what he preaches but we let everyone score at will.... Like is said at the beginning. Its lazy, all of it. The trend of going down 10 in the first 5 mins, LAZY. guards letting their man by them cause they are use to gobert being a monster, LAZY. Not cutting and only getting 15 assists, LAZY. this is an ugly brand of basketball being advertised right now.... It makes it hard to be a jazz fan.
One last thing then my rant will be done. Hill makes Quinn look better, why? Cause hill knows how to run a team and offense. The jazz strong start was thanks to Hill. Not Quinn having the right pieces. Great players find ways to win, thats what hill does for the jazz. Same goes for Coaches, they find a way to win. They dont call a timeout with 5 mins left when down by ten then call it a learning experience in the post game interview....
****PLease feel free to tell me i am way off base, but i dont think i am****

They're running a lot more strong motion this year with some pretty cool wrinkles I haven't seen before.

They're running HORNS with a wing instead of the traditional two bigs. It's getting them some great looks outside.

Jazz have been focusing on creating mismatches, and are clearing out to attack the rim when they get one.

All offenses stagnate and revert to PNR as the bailout play, or to isos. They should be able to run better stuff when healthy. If healthy anyway. I predicted that problem pre-season.

I hear what you are saying, and there is ball movement. However, its not good ball movement.It looks like a play/drill you do in middle school... (Pass the ball 5 times then jack up a low percentage shot)

Maybe the ball isn't bouncing utahs way and these percentages will even out eventually. Currently though, it is Ugly basketball. Hopefully we see change. seeing utah going into to 4th with 12 assist is not good active basketball. Everyone was standing watching the other guy the last 2 games.

I would like to see more cuts. the swing cut baseline to baseline, simplest cut in basketball, but it causes a lot of movement and makes the other team have to communicate instead of just sitting back and watching the jazz play hot potato till the timer runs out and we shoot a low percentage mid-range shot or a 27 footer.
 
I don't blame Quin for players missing open shots. I also don't blame Quin for defensive breakdowns, because it only takes one bad player on the floor to make everyone suck on D. What is Quin's fault is leaving players in the game when they are stinking it up at both ends of the floor.

I like Diaw. I want Diaw to succeed. But we cannot have a PF on the floor that gets only 1 rebound in 25 minutes of play.

Quin use to scream at our point guards to push the ball up the floor. What happened to that? Now we are lucky to score 2 buckets a game off transition. This year, fast breaks are rare events for the team.
 
People keep saying that we are just missing open shots, but are ill-informed. as of a few days ago, Jazz take the 4th most "very-tight" contested shots in the league, and take the 7th fewest "wide open" shots in the league. it isnt a matter of just missing open looks. comparatively, there arent many open looks to miss.
