Reports: Quin Snyder hired as Utah Jazz coach image

The Jazz have settled on Hawks assistant Quin Snyder to be their new coach.

Multiple media outlets are reporting that Snyder will take over in Utah, succeeding Tyrone Corbin. This will be his first NBA head coaching assignment; he led the University Missouri's program from 1999 to 2006.

In the past four seasons, Snyder has coached with the 76ers, the Lakers, CSKA Moscow in Russia, and the Hawks.

The Jazz finished 25-57 this season as they continue to rebuild with younger players.
