SALT LAKE CITY — Quin Snyder and Nick Nurse go way back.
To the days of no pregame and postgame media obligations and certainly no large television camera crews broadcasting their teams' games.
Snyder and Nurse were just two young NBA D-League coaches — now G League —trying to make it.
“I learned a lot from him, he was in the D League when I got there and he was one of the guys, we played everybody a fair amount because there wasn’t as many teams then and we developed a friendship, too,” Snyder said of Nurse.
