Quin Synder for COTY?

[Archie Moses]

After watching the Jazz this year, seeing them lose their best player, having lineup and inconsistency issues and now putting together a pretty descent sample size of 10 wins-in-a-row, do you think Synder is in discussion for COTY at this point in the season?

To me, it's crazy exciting seeing the Jazz gel together and play so cohesively after going through so much - especially doubt. Quin deserves more credit imo. You hear talks for Mitchell being ROY, but rarely anything about how well they are coached.

Here's to Siberia and its role in bringing Synder to Utah.

Id give it to Dwayne Casey.

He'll definitely be in the discussion.

If I remember correctly, Spoelstra was a top candidate for the award last year after the Heat exploded down the stretch. The Jazz might be on a similar run. If the Jazz can 1) make the playoffs, again and 2) do so on the heels of losing their "best player," those are two additional feathers in Quin's cap that Spo didn't have.

Getting Rudy, Favs and Rubio to dominate the floor at the same time is legendary. Quin's work with Ingles is sorcery and DM is just great all by himself. We'll see how the team looks down the stretch.

He's definitely a top candidate.

If the Jazz get the 6th seed or higher I think he wins COY and Mitchell wins ROY.

I think Snyder deserved more consideration last year than this year. We had so many injuries and still won so many games.

I think he will get more recognition this year when we are in the playoffs due to losing what many perceived as our best player and still being just as good.

Snyder will have a good shot at it if our team gets into the playoffs. If we somehow miraculosly get into the 3rd or 4th seed that might lock it down for him.

I think Utah needs to get to the second round, and then he has a good shot. Anything short of that and somebody else will get it.

Does COTY take in Playoffs? I thought voting was already in before they start.

They vote at the end of the season before the playoffs, so playoff performance doesn't matter.

May be if Toronto falls off a bit and we make the 6th seed. I don't think there are any other coaches that are in the discussion.

McMillan has to be in the discussion as well, but yeah Casey is a lock if they continue their trajectory.

The Jazz have top candidates for Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, and Executive of the Year and you can believe that.

The Red Auerbach Trophy is awarded based on regular season performance.

I'd have added Defensive Player of the Year as well if Gobert hadn't missed so much time.

And 1.

Who is the frontrunner for DPOY? Horford?

Who is the frontrunner for DPOY? Horford?

Hasn't George been killer on D this year? Him and Horford probably.

 

[MDAV28]

Hasn't George been killer on D this year? Him and Horford probably.

Yeah true. Gobert could honestly still beat both of them out with a strong finish.

Just saw a segment on ESPN that talked about COTY. They (Pippin, Nichols, and Elhassan) said the front runner was, by far, Dwane Casey. They said Brad Stevens was probably in second, but there was no mention of Synder. While I agree Casey should be the front runner, I definitely think Snyder should at least be considered. He's made a lot of adjustments this year that show his brilliance. I wonder how many more wins we'd have with Snyder and this lineup than we would if we had Corbin or someone else.
