Quin Snyder to coach Western Conference Team in upcoming ASG

Quin Snyder will coach the Western Conference Team in the upcoming All-Star Game.

Per ESPN, Quin Snyder of the Utah Jazz will coach the Western Conference entry in next month’s NBA All-Star Game, sources told ESPN.

While the league has not officially announced that the game is taking place March 7, if it holds to its typical timeline of selecting the coach of the team with the best record as of two weeks before the game — which sources say the league intends to do — then Snyder officially locked up the honor with Utah’s win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.

Los Angeles Lakers coach Frank Vogel is ineligible to coach this year, having done so last season, while Monday’s win clinched Utah having a better record than the LA Clippers no matter what happens the rest of this week.
