Quin Snyder is the new coach

Frank Isola tells Spence and Gordon that Quin Snyder has great hair and is very skinny and a fancy dresser just like ichabod Crane.

Great questions. . .

And I have one to add. . . Will he increase the offensive tempo?

I've been hoping for a coach who will use the athleticism this team has combined with the altitude to give them a huge advantage over everyone who comes to SLC. Is this guy going to be that kind of coach?

For me it's not about tempo more then it's about running a system owning it and getting the players to execute that system. I'd rather the jazz run a half court system and get high quality shots with lots of assists. Like the Spurs and the jazz under Sloan, and speeding up the tempo from time to time when the situation calls for it. If your system is run by a guy who doesn't know how to run a system, then yes, you should be uptempo, otherwise slow the tempo, get good shots and layups, and play good defense. This is usually a championship scenario. Uptempo style will win lots of games in reg. season but a good half court system will win in the playoffs.

The more I read, the more I like it. SMART BASKETBALL. Seems exactly like what I'd expect DL to do with his coaching hire. He sounds like a guy who understands offense really well AND has quality experience at the European level as well. A big plus for a team like Utah IMO. If he can hire good assistants, then I think that this team could be solid under his watch.

I like that he's got a fiery side as well. I think that's something that the players have needed desperately these past three years.
 
From Wiki:

Quinn Snyder is a homeyennis dream. During his 3-year tenure in Austin, Snyder compiled more wins and guided more players to the NBA than any other coach in the D-League[13] with GATORADE Call-Ups that included Malik Hairston, Pops Mensah-Bonsu, DeMarcus Nelson, Marcus Williams, Dwayne Jones, Curtis Jerrells, and Alonzo Gee - who was also named NBA Development League Rookie of the Year in 2010.[citation needed]

Let's just hope he can actually run a system.

Kanter was terrible at P&R so far. I hope if he stays Snyder will spend lots of time with him working on it and on pick and pop as well.
 
Another thing I love is that there is no doubt this is Lindsey's guy. They've had ties a while. Lindsey putting his stamp on team.

I would be shocked if he did not. I mean, the Jazz still lack the bailout talent required to run faster sets, but pretty much everything is faster than Corbin's side pnr into drive and dish to the three point line, then step a few in for a long two.
 
A snipit from an article Snyder co-authored, published in the FIBA Assist magazine in 2009 about the pick n' roll..

Over the past few years, through discussion and observation, I have attempted to improve my understanding
of the pick-and-roll game. This process led me to compile an in-depth catalog of various types of pick-and-roll. The initial purpose of recording my thoughts and observations was to create a tool to help me more carefully examine and understand the intricacies of pick-and-roll.

I had hoped to more thoroughly study the history of pick-and-roll and to properly acknowledge the innovative coaches and players who are responsible for its evolution. I apologize that time has not permitted me the opportunity to identify the specific contributions of these individuals.

The article that follows is not born from any desire to reinvent the wheel. It is merely an exercise in recording my observations about pick-and-roll. The evolution of the article itself is a product of not just my thoughts, but many coaches and players who enthusiastically provided feedback, observation, and criticism. My hope is that it will be useful in some way.

The category of plays referred to as "Pick-and-Roll" has dominated the strategic thinking of coaches for decades. By observing the evolution of pick-and-roll, coaches have found windows of creativity to use for the development of new types of pick-and-roll. Equally influential in the innovative process are the instinctive and creative abilities of players. Players modify pick-and-roll action. Coaches, through observation, use these modifications to maximize players' strengths and minimize weaknesses in execution. For their part, players have made pick-and-roll increasingly complex yet simple at the same time.
