==Coaching career==
==Coaching career==
===College===
After completing business and law degrees, Snyder decided to pursue a career in basketball. In 1995, he was hired at his alma mater as a full-time assistant. In 1997, he was promoted to the position of associate head coach. He was widely credited with recruiting the group of student-athletes who compiled a 37-2 record during the 1998-99 season and finished as NCAA runners-up. In 1999, Snyder's final year on the Duke bench, the Blue Devils went 37-2 and lost the national championship game to the University of Connecticut. In 10 years at Duke, he took part in five Final Fours - three as a player (1986, 88, 89) and two more as a coach (1994, 99).


===Los Angeles Clippers (1992–1993)===
In 1999, Snyder accepted the head coaching position at the University of Missouri, succeeding longtime coach [[Norm Stewart]]. He eventually led the Tigers to four consecutive [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|NCAA Tournament]] berths, including the [[Elite Eight]] in 2002, matching the deepest run ever made by a Missouri team in the NCAA Tournament. Given his success during his first year at Missouri, he was named Rookie Coach of the Year by the Basketball Times.<ref>{{Cite web| title = University of Missouri Men's Basketball Bio: Quin Snyder | publisher = www.mutigers.com | date = 19 November 2004 | url = http://atmizzou.missouri.edu/jun03/Snyder.htm}}</ref>
In the middle of his graduate work, Snyder spent the {{nbay|1992}} NBA season as an assistant coach for the [[Los Angeles Clippers]].<ref name="NBA bio">{{cite web|title=Quin Snyder|url=http://www.nba.com/coachfile/quin_snyder/|publisher=NBA|access-date=March 22, 2013}}</ref>


===Duke (1993–1999)===
Snyder was hailed as a sensation upon his arrival at Missouri. His first team, although seriously undermanned and composed largely of Stewart's players, made an impressive run to the NCAA Tournament. They knocked off a ranked [[Illinois Fighting Illini|Illinois]] team and then defeated the [[Kansas Jayhawks]] in Snyder's first game against Mizzou's archrival. Snyder's second season was punctuated by similar success. He once again toppled a ranked Kansas team and led the Tigers to their first NCAA victory since 1995. The eventual 2001 NCAA National Champion [[Duke Blue Devils men's basketball|Duke]] ended the Tigers' season in the NCAA Tournament.<ref>{{Cite web| title = Back to the Basics | publisher = Columbianmissourian.com | date = 14 February 2007 | url = http://www.columbiamissourian.com/media/multimedia/2008/pages/quin/story.html }}</ref>
From 1993 to 1995, Snyder served as an administrative assistant to men's basketball coach [[Mike Krzyzewski]] while Snyder completed his MBA and JD at Duke. After completing both degrees in 1995, Snyder became a full-time assistant coach under Krzyzewski. In 1997, Duke promoted Snyder to associate head coach.<ref name="NBA bio"/> During Snyder's time as a Duke assistant coach, Duke made the [[1994 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1994]] and [[1999 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1999]] NCAA tournament championship rounds and the [[Elite Eight]] round in [[1998 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1998]]. Duke also won the [[ACC men's basketball tournament|ACC tournament]] in [[1999 ACC men's basketball tournament|1999]].<ref name="SR Duke">{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/duke/|title=Duke Blue Devils|publisher=sports-reference.com/cbb|access-date=March 26, 2013}}</ref>


===Missouri (1999–2006)===
Snyder's third team achieved something only accomplished three other times in a century of Missouri Basketball, the NCAA's Elite Eight. The Tigers pummeled 5th seeded [[Miami Hurricanes basketball|Miami]] and then dominated the [[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]] Champion [[Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball|Ohio State]] in advancing to the Sweet 16. [[UCLA Bruins men's basketball|UCLA]] proved no match for the Tigers, who wore down the Bruins down the stretch. The Tigers eventually succumbed to the Final Four-bound [[Oklahoma Sooners men's basketball|Oklahoma]] in a very close game - the Tigers came just six points shy of reaching Missouri's first ever Final Four. Mizzou also became the lowest-seeded team (#12) to reach the final eight in the history of the NCAA tournament.
In 1999, Snyder accepted the head coaching position for the [[University of Missouri]] [[Missouri Tigers men's basketball|Tigers men's basketball team]], succeeding longtime coach [[Norm Stewart]]. He eventually led the Tigers to four consecutive [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|NCAA tournament]] berths, including the [[Elite Eight]] in [[2002 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|2002]], matching the deepest run ever made by a Missouri team in the NCAA Tournament.<ref name=Mizzou>{{Cite web|title=Snyder Named a Pan-American Games Coach |work=At Mizzou |date=November 19, 2004 |url=http://atmizzou.missouri.edu/jun03/Snyder.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030613013036/http://atmizzou.missouri.edu/jun03/Snyder.htm |archive-date=June 13, 2003 |access-date=March 24, 2013}}</ref>

In 2002-2003, Missouri again reached the NCAA Tournament, defeating [[Southern Illinois Salukis men's basketball|Southern Illinois]] before losing an overtime thriller to Final Four-bound [[Marquette Golden Eagles men's basketball|Marquette]]. It marked the fourth time in four years that Missouri was knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by the eventual regional champion. Missouri's 5 wins in 3 seasons marked the single most successful stretch of NCAA Tournament basketball in the long history of Missouri Basketball.


In the summer of 2003, Snyder was an assistant coach for [[USA Basketball|United States]] at the [[2003 Pan American Games|Pan American Games]].<ref name=Mizzou/> In May 2004, Snyder was named in 17 allegations as a part of an NCAA investigation over recruiting violations, centering on improper gifts to guard Ricky Clemons.<ref>{{cite news | title = School releases allegations with names | agency=Associated Press | date = May 25, 2004 | url = https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=1802366 | access-date = January 10, 2015}}</ref> The program was placed on a three-year probation that November after the NCAA infractions committee ruled that an assistant bought meals, provided transportation and illegally contacted recruits. The committee rejected claims by the school that the rule violations were inadvertent, although it also dismissed charges of major violations, including the Clemons' claim that assistant coaches paid players cash.<ref>{{cite news | title = Missouri Penalized by the NCAA | url = https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-nov-04-sp-newswire4-story.html | access-date = January 10, 2015 | date = November 4, 2004 | work = [[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> Snyder later admitted to having players at his house for "an occasional meal" and giving Clemons clothing.<ref name=pearlman>{{Cite news|title=The Ballad of Quin Snyder |work = ESPN Page 2 online |date=April 18, 2009 |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=pearlman/080418 |first=Jeff |last=Pearlman |access-date= March 24, 2013}}</ref>

Snyder resigned as coach on February 10, 2006, following a 26-point loss to [[Baylor Bears men's basketball|Baylor]] that extended a losing streak to six and dropped the Tigers to a 10–11 record overall, 3–7 in the Big 12. He finished with a 126–91 record over seven years, reaching the NCAA tournament in each of his first four seasons but posting only a 42–42 record since.<ref name="Missouri resignation">{{cite news | title = Snyder out as Missouri hoops coach| work = ESPN.com | date = February 10, 2006 | url = https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=2326174 | access-date = January 10, 2015 }}</ref> After his resignation, Snyder accused Missouri athletic director Mike Alden of sending Gary Link, a basketball analyst and assistant to Alden, to inform him that he would be fired after the season.<ref>{{cite news | title = Missouri chancellor backs AD in Snyder resignation – Men's College Basketball | url = https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=2333272 | date = February 16, 2006 | access-date = January 10, 2015 | agency=Associated Press}}</ref>
The 2005-2006 Season got off to a decent start, culminating with an 89&ndash;86 overtime win over Kansas in mid-January. Snyder defeated the arch-rival Jayhawks in each of his last two meetings with them. But the Tigers lost their next six, the final loss being a 90&ndash;64 loss to the [[Baylor Bears men's basketball|Baylor Bears]].


===Austin Toros (2007–2010)===
During his tenure with Mizzou many allegations surfaced regarding his ability to manage the program. Though a long and intense NCAA investigation revealed that Snyder's program committed only a handful of minor violations, Snyder chose to resign. <ref>http://missouri.scout.com/2/259107.html</ref> Snyder was defended in the case by future Missouri interim president [[Steve Owens (Missouri)|Steve Owens]].<ref>http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2011/01/21/temporary-president-counts-deep-missouri-ties/</ref>
Following his departure from Missouri in 2006, Snyder initially gave up on coaching for good.<ref name=pearlman /> But in May 2007, he accepted the head coaching position of the [[Austin Toros]] in the [[NBADL]]<ref>{{Cite news|title=Snyder to Replace Late Dennis Johnson as Toros Coach |work=ESPN.com |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=2895185 |first=Andy |last=Katz |date=June 6, 2007 |access-date=March 24, 2013}}</ref>


In the first season, Snyder's team won the Southwest Division championship and reached the D-League Finals. In his second season, Snyder led the Toros to a 32-win season; coached in the 2009 NBA D-League All-Star Game in Phoenix; received the Dennis Johnson Coach of the Year award; and reached the D-League Semi-Finals. In his final season with the team, the Toros compiled another 32-win season – this time with more rookies than any other team in the D-League – and again reached the Semi-Finals. During his three-year tenure in Austin, Snyder compiled more wins and guided more players to the NBA than any other coach in the D-League.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Commentary: Ex-Toros coach Snyder likes life out of spotlight's glare |first=Steve |last=Kelley |work=[[Austin American-Statesman]] online |url=http://www.statesman.com/news/sports/commentary-ex-toros-coach-snyder-likes-life-out-of/nRt4r/ |date=July 2, 2010 |access-date=March 24, 2013}}</ref>
Snyder was the only coach in Missouri history to make post-season play in every season that he coached the team to the season's end.

As player:

Quin Price Snyder (born October 30, 1966)[1][2] is an American professional basketball coach who is the head coach for the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). After being named a McDonald's All American as a high school player in Washington, he played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils. He was the head coach of the Utah Jazz for eight seasons, and is known for being both an offensive and defensive minded tactician with a passion for player development.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Snyder was born in Mercer Island, Washington, and graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1985. A two-time state basketball player of the year, Snyder led the team to the 1985 state championship. During this time Mercer Island achieved a No. 1 ranking in USA Today's high school polls. Snyder was named a McDonald's All American, the first player chosen from Washington.[2][4][5]

College career

[edit]
Snyder as a freshman at Duke

At Duke University, Snyder was a point guard for the Blue Devils from 1985 to 1989, and his team played in the Final Four in 1986, 1988, and 1989. He became a starter in his second season (1987) and started almost all games the remainder of his career.[6] He was elected a team captain and honored as an Academic All-American during his senior season.

He graduated from Duke in 1989 with a double major in philosophy and political science, and, later received a J.D. degree from Duke Law School in 1995 and an M.B.A. degree from the Duke Fuqua School of Business in 1995.[7]

Coaching career

[edit]

Los Angeles Clippers (1992–1993)

[edit]

In the middle of his graduate work, Snyder spent the 1992–93 NBA season as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers.[7]

Duke (1993–1999)

[edit]

From 1993 to 1995, Snyder served as an administrative assistant to men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski while Snyder completed his MBA and JD at Duke. After completing both degrees in 1995, Snyder became a full-time assistant coach under Krzyzewski. In 1997, Duke promoted Snyder to associate head coach.[7] During Snyder's time as a Duke assistant coach, Duke made the 1994 and 1999 NCAA tournament championship rounds and the Elite Eight round in 1998. Duke also won the ACC tournament in 1999.[8]

Missouri (1999–2006)

[edit]

In 1999, Snyder accepted the head coaching position for the University of Missouri Tigers men's basketball team, succeeding longtime coach Norm Stewart. He eventually led the Tigers to four consecutive NCAA tournament berths, including the Elite Eight in 2002, matching the deepest run ever made by a Missouri team in the NCAA Tournament.[9]

Snyder was hailed as a sensation upon his arrival at Missouri. His first team knocked off a ranked Illinois team and then defeated Kansas in Snyder's first game against Mizzou's archrival. Snyder's second season was punctuated by similar success. He once again toppled a ranked Kansas team and led the Tigers to their first NCAA victory since 1995. The eventual 2001 NCAA National Champion Duke ended the Tigers' season in the NCAA Tournament.[10] He was named Rookie Coach of the Year by the Basketball Times after the season.[9]

In the summer of 2003, Snyder was an assistant coach for United States at the Pan American Games.[9] In May 2004, Snyder was named in 17 allegations as a part of an NCAA investigation over recruiting violations, centering on improper gifts to guard Ricky Clemons.[11] The program was placed on a three-year probation that November after the NCAA infractions committee ruled that an assistant bought meals, provided transportation and illegally contacted recruits. The committee rejected claims by the school that the rule violations were inadvertent, although it also dismissed charges of major violations, including the Clemons' claim that assistant coaches paid players cash.[12] Snyder later admitted to having players at his house for "an occasional meal" and giving Clemons clothing.[13]

Snyder resigned as coach on February 10, 2006, following a 26-point loss to Baylor that extended a losing streak to six and dropped the Tigers to a 10–11 record overall, 3–7 in the Big 12. He finished with a 126–91 record over seven years, reaching the NCAA tournament in each of his first four seasons but posting only a 42–42 record since.[14] After his resignation, Snyder accused Missouri athletic director Mike Alden of sending Gary Link, a basketball analyst and assistant to Alden, to inform him that he would be fired after the season.[15]

Austin Toros (2007–2010)

[edit]

Following his departure from Missouri in 2006, Snyder initially gave up on coaching for good.[13] But in May 2007, he accepted the head coaching position of the Austin Toros in the NBADL[16]

In the first season, Snyder's team won the Southwest Division championship and reached the D-League Finals. In his second season, Snyder led the Toros to a 32-win season; coached in the 2009 NBA D-League All-Star Game in Phoenix; received the Dennis Johnson Coach of the Year award; and reached the D-League Semi-Finals. In his final season with the team, the Toros compiled another 32-win season – this time with more rookies than any other team in the D-League – and again reached the Semi-Finals. During his three-year tenure in Austin, Snyder compiled more wins and guided more players to the NBA than any other coach in the D-League.[17]

Philadelphia 76ers (2010–2011)

[edit]

Snyder became a player development coach for the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA on June 11, 2010, working under Doug Collins.[18] Soon afterward, Snyder began training draft prospects in workouts preceding the 2010 NBA draft, including future 76ers player Evan Turner.[19] The 76ers finished 41–41 in the 2010–11 season.

Los Angeles Lakers (2011–2012)

[edit]

On July 1, 2011, NBA team Los Angeles Lakers hired Snyder as an assistant under coach Mike Brown.[20] In a season shortened by a lockout, the Lakers finished the 2011–12 season in first place in the Pacific Division with a 41–25 record. The Lakers advanced to the Western Conference semi-finals.

CSKA Moscow (2012–2013)

[edit]

On July 8, 2012, the European powerhouse team CSKA Moscow of the Russian Professional Basketball League hired Snyder as the head assistant coach under Ettore Messina.[21] CSKA reached the Euroleague Final Four this season, but lost to eventual champion Olympiacos Piraeus in the semi-final round.[22]

Atlanta Hawks (2013–2014)

[edit]

On June 10, 2013, the Atlanta Hawks hired Snyder as the head assistant coach.[23]

Utah Jazz (2014–2022)

[edit]
