After weeks of conversations with ownership and management, Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder’s future remains unclear and a possibility exists that he could decide to end his eight-year tenure with the franchise, according to ESPN.
The talks have been focused on keeping Snyder on the team but owner Ryan Smith and CEO of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge have yet to secure the coach’s return for next season.
Snyder was offered an extension to his two-year deal and the management would also welcome Snyder simply returning on his current contract for next season.
“Quin Snyder is one of the best coaches in the NBA,” Jazz general manager Justin Zanik said during exit interviews in late April. “There is no other partner I would rather have as a coach and as a leader of our players and as a partner in our front office than Quin Snyder.”
There’s no timetable and the talks are expected to continue. Snyder, who’s been recovering from recent hip surgery, also showed no interest in chasing after open jobs this offseason.
