    > According to Zach Klein of WSB TV in Atlanta, [Quin Snyder] will change almost the entire coaching staff, and potential candidates are already lining up to join him on the Hawks bench. Among them is the former Slovenia NT head coach, Igor Kokoskov.

    > Brian Bailey, Alex Jensen and Antonio Lang are some of the names who have been linked to the position. Jensen served as his assistant coach for eight years at Salt Lake City (he’s still part of Utah’s coaching staff), while Brian Bailey was assistant to the Hawks ‘ head coach during his last two seasons at Utah. Lang also worked under Snyder in Utah (2014-2019), and has spent the past four seasons in Cleveland.

    > Atlanta’s coach first collaborated with the Serbian expert in the 1999-2000 season when Kokoskov was his assistant at Missouri. Later, they also worked together in Utah for three years, where they formed a great relationship, which they both often talked about.

    > “It’s hard to describe our relationship. It transcends the boundaries of basketball. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here today. He brought me to the States, and gave me a job. He’s my life mentor, not just basketball. It changed my life,” Kokoskov once said about Snyder.

    > If Kokoskov joins forces with Snyder again, he’ll get to work with his fellow countryman Bogdan Bogdanovic, who agreed to extend his cooperation with the Hawks for four years and $68,000,000.

    I never heard of this guy but he has an elite Henchman name, so I’m all for it

    This team does need some European coaching

  4. Europeans shoot the ball good. We shoot the ball bad.

    This makes sense.
