Quin Snyder and Nick Nurse had coached against each other before.
There just weren’t that many people around to see it.
“We didn’t have pre-game media,” Snyder told reporters before Monday night’s game between the Utah Jazz and the Toronto Raptors, “and sometimes we didn’t have post-game media either.”
“One of my favorite things about the D-League was going on the road and losing and not having to talk to anyone after the game,” Nurse added a few minutes later with a laugh.
On Monday night, Snyder’s Jazz and Nurse’s Raptors squared off at Vivint Smart Home Arena, an early season clash between two teams with playoff aspirations.
