Houston • Some coaches let it be known in no uncertain terms that the organizations they oversee are not democracies.
Jazz coach Quin Snyder, meanwhile, though ultimately responsible for for crafting the team’s gameplan, is not so vain or foolhardy as to believe that he has a monopoly on worthy ideas.
Before Wednesday’s Game 2 at the Toyota Center, Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell spoke appreciatively of the coaching staff’s willingness to accept feedback from the players in the wake of their postseason-opening 32-point defeat.
“All of us have come in and given our input on what we see and what we should do, and the coaching staff is great and phenomenal as far as listening to us, as far as giving us their input, as well,” Mitchell said.
