SALT LAKE CITY — A day removed from getting swept by the Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder sat at the podium for his exit interview next to team president Steve Starks awaiting questions from the media like he was anticipating a sentencing.
Sporting his signature frizzed hair, Snyder wiped his forehead, picked up his water bottle and took a sip.
To someone ignorant of the team’s success, Snyder might have appeared nervous after the Jazz went winless in the Western Conference Semifinals. But his job, admirably so, had been done and Snyder was simply looking forward to answering the questions — right after Starks took the lead, of course.
