Quin Snyder to be CSKA Moscow assistant coach

Quin Snyder will be the assistant coach of Ettore Messina in CSKA Moscow.
Snyder spent last season with the Lakers as assistant coach and worked together with Ettore Messina.
Snyder has a long career as coach in the NBA. Prior to his time in Los Angeles, he was assistant coach with the 76ers.

Before Sixers, Snyder spent three highly successful seasons as head coach of the NBA Development League’s Austin Toros, amassing a 94-56 (.627) record while guiding them to three consecutive playoff appearances as well as an appearance in the 2008 D-League championship game. Growing up in suburban Seattle with a poster of the late Hall of Fame Sonics great Dennis Johnson on his bedroom wall, Snyder earned the D-League’s Dennis Johnson Coach of the Year award in 2008-09 coaching Johnson’s former Toros team.

Before Snyder, CSKA Moscow tried to hire as assistant coach Giordano Consolini or Giorgio Valli but both turned down the proposal.
First to report about Snyder in Moscow was Worldbasket.
