“For the previous eight years, Quin Snyder has personified what Jazz basketball is,” stated Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith. “Quin’s relentless work ethic and meticulous attention to detail each day exemplify the professional he is. Quin has my undying appreciation and I appreciate his decision. We appreciate Quin and Amy from the bottom of our hearts for all of their accomplishments to the state of Utah and the Jazz, and we wish them nothing but the best on behalf of Ashley and myself, our ownership group, and our entire business.”

In 2021-22, Snyder completed his eighth season as head coach of the Jazz, guiding the club to six consecutive playoff appearances and three appearances in the Western Conference Semifinals. Snyder guided the Jazz to a 294-178 (.623) record during the last six seasons, which was the third-highest winning percentage in the NBA and the best in the Western Conference.
