The Utah Jazz have agreed upon a long-term contract extension with Quin Snyder.

Snyder became head coach of the Jazz in 2014.

Snyder has yet to lead the Jazz to a playoff berth though they nearly finished with the eighth seed despite an injury filled season in 15-16.

“With this contract extension, we are declaring our confidence in Coach Snyder’s ability to continue to develop the Utah Jazz into a championship team,” said Gail Miller, owner of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies. “The Miller family recognizes the significant progress made under his leadership and we are excited about the direction we are headed.”

“We have continued to take significant steps as a team under Quin’s direction,” said Jazz General Manager Dennis Lindsey. “His work ethic, basketball intelligence and ability to connect with and develop our players make him the ideal head coach of the Jazz.”
