Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder steps down after 8 seasons; Donovan Mitchell 'unsettled'

Quin Snyder’s time in Utah has come to an end.

Snyder officially stepped down as the Jazz’s head coach on Sunday, the team announced. It was just simply time, he said.

"I strongly feel that they need a new voice to continue to evolve. That's it," Snyder said in a statement, in part. "No philosophical differences, no other reason. After eight years, I just feel it is time to move onward."

Snyder just finished his eighth season with the Jazz, who were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round by the Dallas Mavericks.
