Snyder to join Hawks as assistant
Quin Snyder will join the Hawks as an assistant coach, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Snyder will join the staff of Mike Budenholzer, who was hired last month and will continue to work with the Spurs during the NBA Finals.
Snyder has served the past two seasons as an assistant for CSKA Moscow. The Russian team, in an announcement on its official Website, issued a statement that Snyder will leave to return to the United States.
“It is sad to say goodbye to Quin,” the statement from head coach Ettore Messina read. “We are losing a friend, great coach, great person who was able to establish close relationship with many of people here in CSKA. I am happy that he will continue his career on the highest level. It will be not easy to substitute him. Still we will try to make the best possible choice.”
