Let’s get rid of a popular but misguided notion that currently circulates around the Jazz, buzzing everywhere except for inside their own circle, as it pertains to their head coach.
No. Quin Snyder is not feeling extra pressure entering a season of high expectations for his team, no more than he places on himself every season. It is true that he constantly tears things apart and puts them back together again, working all types of roundball combinations and equations, hatching hoop novels in his mind, at every turn, at all hours.
But contrary to what a lot of people are saying, Snyder, now in his sixth year in Utah, is eager, not anxious, to see what he can create out of the stack of talent piled up in front of him.
