You don’t have to be around Quin Snyder long to understand that he’s highly unusual. He’s highly intelligent and charismatic.
Dean Smith said that in the 1960s, Vic Bubas taught everyone how to recruit. It was basically a revolutionary approach.
Well Snyder did the same thing at Duke. He was the first one, or at least one of the first, to incorporate technology into recruiting. Before Snyder, people used file cards. He, as much as anyone, moved into databases and spreadsheets and applied business principles to coaching.
He finished Duke law and Fuqua Business School at Duke in the same year - 1995.
