7. Quin Snyder, Utah Jazz
Since taking over the head coaching job in Utah three years ago, Snyder has improved each and every year. He is living proof that your past doesn’t define you as a person and that a little adversity might be all you need to get over the hump.
Snyder won 51 games last year, putting an emphasis on team defense and running half court sets. The Jazz were the slowest offensive team according to pace last season and the best team in the league at allowing the fewest points per game.
He has put his stamp on how Utah will be running as an orginization and everyone has bought in to what he’s doing. With their center piece Gordon Hayward leaving for Boston, Snyder will have his hands full with a new look roster in 2018.
