On June 6, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA Finals continued. Earlier today, according to a famous ESPN reporter, Jazz coach Schneider decided to step down as Jazz coach.
Then the reporter continued to report that after serving as Jazz coach for 8 seasons, Snyder made the decision to resign. His dialogue with the team has always been very friendly and the relationship between the two sides is still very strong. But after making the Jazz a long-term contender for the playoffs, Snyder decided to leave the team.
Since 2014, Snyder has been the head coach of the Jazz. After missing the playoffs two previous two, Snyder began to lead the Jazz to become a regular in the 2016-17 season, but their best result was only in the Western Conference semi-finals. In last season, they won the top spot in the regular season, and Snyder was elected as the head coach of the 2021 NBA All-Star Game Western Conference All-Star Team, but they were eliminated in the semi-finals. This season, the Jazz were eliminated by the Mavericks in the first round.
According to previous reports, the Lakers were very interested in Snyder, and this news was confirmed to be reliable, but Snyder clearly rejected the Lakers. Later, the media revealed that Snyder might step down. Subsequently, Snyder negotiated with Jazz many times. Snyder's contract has two years left (2023-24 season is a coaching option). The Jazz have proposed to extend Snyder's current contract and hope to work with him to push the team further in the West. But due to physical (hook surgery) and other reasons, Snyder decided to temporarily put down the Jazz coaching staff.
According to statistics, in the eight seasons of Snyder being the head coach for the Jazz, he achieved 372 wins and 264 losses, and 21 wins and 30 losses in the playoffs. After he left office, his future became the focus of media speculation. According to media reports such as Brooklyn Netcast, perhaps his next stop is the Nets.
