SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz announced Friday that they have hired Atlanta Hawks assistant coach Quin Snyder to replace Tyrone Corbin, who was let go earlier this year after three-plus seasons as the head coach in Salt Lake City. Snyder most recently completed his first season as an assistant with Atlanta. He has also been an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers. He was the head coach at Missouri for seven seasons, from 1999 to 2006, leading the Tigers to four NCAA tournaments. That included an Elite Eight appearance in 2002. "He has an impressive basketball pedigree, including more than a decade of head coaching experience that positions him well to succeed in the Jazz organization," Jazz CEO Greg Miller said in a statement. "We look forward to Quins contributions both on the court and in the community." Snyder succeeds Corbin, who was not offered a new contract. Corbin went 112-146 in Salt Lake City after taking over on Feb. 10, 2011, following the resignation of Jerry Sloan, for whom he played three seasons and served as a longtime assistant. Corbin reached the playoffs in the strike-shortened 2011-12 season, but his team was swept by San Antonio in the first round of the playoffs. The Jazz went 43-39 the next season and dumped a number of veterans. This season, they went 25-57, the worst record for the Jazz since 1979-80, when Utah was 24-58 following the franchises relocation from New Orleans. Other candidates for the job included Clippers assistant Alvin Gentry and Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin. "The opportunity to join the Utah Jazz and to be part of such a highly respected franchise with an incredibly bright future is a great honour," Snyder said in a statement. "I approach this opportunity with gratitude and humility and am committed to doing everything I can to help the Jazz become a championship-calibre team." Former Jazz forward Paul Millsap, who went to Atlanta last season, posted to Twitter: "Congratulations to Quin Snyder for being named head coach of the (at)utahjazz!!! The Jazz are getting a great coach and person." Snyder is the eighth head coach in Jazz history. The team planned a news conference on Saturday. <a href="http://www.thesf49ersshoponline.com/Youth-Jimmie-Ward-49ers-Jersey/">Jimmie Ward Super Bowl Jersey</a>. And thats good news for Canada.

The jest fell flat in the wake of the Dolphins 2013 bullying scandal, in which Pouncey was implicated. The Dolphins took Tennessee tackle JaWuan James with the 19th overall choice Thursday. "Great pick! I cant wait for our gifts hes getting us lol," Pouncey tweeted. An investigation into the bullying scandal found Pouncey followed guard Richie Incognitos lead in harassing Jonathan Martin, who left the team during the season. Pressure on Martin to give other linemen gifts was part of an alleged pattern of harassment. On Friday, general manager Dennis Hickey ssaid he cleared the air with Pouncey regarding the tweet.dddddddddddd "Mike understands that sometimes things can be taken out of context, and whats meant as a lighthearted comment can be taken out of context," Hickey said. "He was good with that, and understands that social media is a great tool to reach our fans for the positive, but you just have to make good choices with that. So were all good." Pouncey is only offensive line starter from last season still with the team. James said he had no problem with Pounceys tweet. "Hes probably just playing and just saying things," James said. "Its all part of the process being a rookie. Im just looking forward to coming in and working." <a href="http://www.chinawholesalejerseysnfl.com/">Wholesale Jerseys</a> ' ' '
