Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski lauds Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder as ‘brilliant’ mind as he nears 200 career wins

MILWAUKEE — Often, while at Duke University, a young Quin Snyder might make an occasional on-court mistake and think he had gotten away with it as the point guard.

Only to learn that a glaring eye on the sidelines also witnessed the same look once he reached the huddle.

“As a player, you were like ‘he saw that, too? Man, I didn’t think he was watching.’ But it’s the reason he’s been so successful,” Snyder said of Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

“No one’s been as successful as him, but he’s been successful in the ’80s, in the ’90s and in the millennial, and that speaks to his ability to adapt, not just to the game, because as the game changes he adapts, but he’s been able to adapt to people and to players,” he added.
