The Atlanta Hawks have extended Quin Snyder's contract, a move that has been reported as 'inevitable' over the past couple of weeks. This decision shows that the Atlanta Hawks organization is all in on what Snyder can do in the near future. Snyder has been coaching the Hawks for three years, and the team has clearly learned his system. While Snyder came into Atlanta to basically help build the Hawks into a contending team during the Trae Young era, things didn't go as expected. This led to Young being moved at the trade deadline. However, since that era ended, the Hawks have bounced back strongly under Snyder, finishing 20-6 and making the playoffs as a 6th seed. Snyder is going to continue as the coach in Atlanta, and familiarity between coaches and players is something they can build on. One of Snyder's biggest attributes is his ability to develop and play young talent right away on competing teams. While in Atlanta, Snyder has allowed many young players, including Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, Zaccharie Risacher, and others, to play heavy minutes for the Hawks despite being super young and unproven at the time. Snyder's approval of playing young talent has led many of them to develop well and learn to play winning team basketball. We've also seen Johnson, Daniels, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker go on to win the Most Improved Player Award or make the NBA All-Star Team during Snyder's tenure with Atlanta. The real reason this could be a solid move is that Snyder has shown he can make young, talented teams work. During his time in Utah, specifically, Snyder led the Jazz to the second round of the NBA Playoffs and the number-one seed in the Western Conference before leaving as the second-most-winning coach in franchise history. Since coming to Atlanta, he has been expected to recreate the same magic he showed in Utah, and while one can argue he hasn't consistently done so, he's still shown the ability to coach a winning team. With the young talent the Hawks have added and will likely continue to add, it is safe to say that giving Snyder another opportunity with this young team isn't a bad idea. However, Snyder hasn't exactly been in the best position to change things around and win. As of now, Snyder holds a 133-135 record as the Hawks' head coach, and each season hasn't looked much different in terms of winning games. There have been questionable rotation decisions, Zaccharie Risacher's lack of development, and the overall record since he took over has not been outstanding.
