Michael Scotto: The Atlanta Hawks signed coach Quin Snyder to a multi-year extension today, which was first reported by HoopsHype as something to monitor on April 12th in the story below. https://www.hoopshype.com/story/sports/nba/2026/04/12/nba-coaching-and-front-office-intel-bucks-bulls-warriors-magic-and-more/89581467007/
“Quin (Snyder) has been a phenomenal leader for our team, and extending his contract reflects our commitment to stability and sustained growth as we build toward high-level success,” said Hawks President of Basketball Operations Onsi Saleh. “Over the past three seasons and amid an evolving roster, we’ve seen clear, measurable progress, which is a testament to the culture he’s established and the leadership he brings every day. He has created an environment where our players are challenged, supported, and empowered to grow, and that focus on player development has elevated our entire program.”
Shams Charania: The Atlanta Hawks and head coach Quin Snyder have agreed to a multiyear contract extension, sources tell ESPN. This marks consecutive extensions for Hawks leadership of Snyder and President Onsi Saleh to solidify organizational continuity for team ownership.
Brad Rowland: Per source, the Hawks and Quin Snyder have agreed to a contract extension. As I've noted many times over the last few weeks, this was a long time coming. (Will be announced/official later today)
There were rumbles during the regular season that Cleveland would have interest in pursuing Quin Snyder — Donovan Mitchell's former coach in Utah — in the event of a coaching change there, but sources with knowledge of the Cavaliers' thinking have pushed back on such suggestions, insisting that Kenny Atkinson was always destined to retain his job for a third season.

Quietly, the Trail Blazers also interviewed Hawks assistant coach Bryan Bailey for Portland’s head coaching position, league sources told HoopsHype. Bailey has been an assistant coach for Quin Snyder with the Hawks and the Utah Jazz. He was also an assistant coach for Jazz coach Will Hardy.
That's the same ballpark we're expecting to see for what sources say is a looming extension in Atlanta for Quin Snyder as well. It's not just Mike Brown in New York commanding those kinds of figures; that has become the going rate for proven head coaches.
Michael Scotto: Atlanta Hawks coaching associate Conner Varney is joining the Butler Bulldogs to reunite with coach Ronald Nored, league sources told @hoopshype . Varney spent three seasons in Atlanta with coach Quin Snyder and worked for him as an assistant video coordinator for the Utah Jazz.
Yet I've received no indication to this point that the Hawks have designs on pursuing Antetokounmpo via trade this summer. Sources say that Atlanta is not eager to splurge for major roster additions, preferring to focus on internal improvement and addressing the futures of CJ McCollum and Jonathan Kuminga along with coach Quin Snyder (who has only one season left on his current contract).
Brad Rowland: CJ McCollum got asked if he talked to Quin and Onsi about his Hawks future. He smiled big and said “The season just ended, my boy.” Added that he hadn’t met with Quin yet but had a “productive conversation” with the front office guys.

Kevin Chouinard: Quin Snyder: “I thought their physicality was significant. And we made some mistakes. We had breakdowns. We didn't make shots. They did. It was a perfect storm.”
Addressing the future of coach Quin Snyder, whose contract has only one season remaining after this one. Snyder, remember, was one of five NBA head coaches under contract that the Knicks unsuccessfully requested permission to speak to last June after the dismissal of Tom Thibodeau along with Dallas' Jason Kidd, Houston's Ime Udoka, Minnesota's Chris Finch and then-Chicago coach Billy Donovan. Snyder did not receive an extension in the immediate aftermath of New York's approach like Udoka, Donovan and ultimately Kidd, but extension talks are mostly certainly expected soon after this season … whether or not Atlanta can keep it going Thursday night.
The Hawks were one of this season's true surprise teams and league sources say there is strong front office support for Snyder to receive a new deal. He steered Atlanta to a 20-6 record after the All-Star break and the trades that shipped out Trae Young and Kristaps Porziņģis, with a 46-36 mark ranking as the Hawks' most successful regular season since the 41-31 team in 2020-21 that went all the way to the Eastern Conference finals.
Oh No He Didn't: Quin Snyder on Kuminga: "Jonathan's just been all in...tonight he did some things that really gave our team a lift. I think the biggest thing he's done is he's just defended. Another guy that's in there competing and defending"
