Jazz announce long-term extension with Quin Snyder

Coming off their best finish in the last three seasons, the Utah Jazz announced a long-term extension with head coach Quin Snyder on Friday.

"I am very grateful for this gesture by the Miller family and the Utah Jazz and appreciative of their belief in me to continue to lead this team," Snyder said. "More than anything, it is confirmation of our collective commitment to building a championship team."

Though the Jazz did not release details regarding the extension, Snyder's deal now reportedly runs through the 2020-21 season, according to Jody Genessy of the Deseret News.

The Jazz finished 40-42 this season, missing out on the playoffs by one game. They've gone 78-86 since Snyder took over prior to the 2014-15 season and have emerged as one of the top defensive teams in the NBA.

"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."
