Quin Snyder, who helped lead the Islander boys’ basketball team to the state title and a No. 1 ranking in 1985, is now head coach of the National Basketball Association’s team, the Utah Jazz.

Snyder’s coaching gigs have spanned the continent — and the world. Before his move to Utah, he worked with teams in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Atlanta. He even coached in Russia. This is his first NBA head coaching job.

Snyder, 47, graduated from Duke University in 1989, majoring in philosophy and political science. He later earned a law degree and MBA. Prior to his NBA career, he lead teams at his alma mater Duke and Missouri.
