He did, however, want to talk about how the Jazz have treated him over the years. “I think the fact that I’ve been here eight years speaks in and of itself. And I’ve been lucky to have been a part of an organization that has been supportive of coaches, generally and of me in particular,” Snyder said. “And I’m grateful for [new Jazz owner Ryan Smith]. He’s doing some terrific things with the franchise and has a vision for how it can continue to grow. My tenure here has obviously — eight years again — you know, it speaks to the situation and I think I’m proud of what we have had an opportunity to build. That’s coaches, players, management and ownership — everybody.”
