Atlanta Hawks Finalize Long-Term Deal with Quin Snyder Through 2026

The Atlanta Hawks and head coach Quin Snyder have agreed to a multi-season contract extension.

Coaching extension announcement The Atlanta Hawks and their head coach Quin Snyder have come to terms on a new multiyear agreement. Snyder took over the Hawks starting with the 2022-23 campaign. Under his leadership, the team posted a 46-36 record during that season before being eliminated in the opening postseason round by the New York Knicks after six games. ## Late-season surge after major trade Even after trading franchise star Trae Young to Washington in early January for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, Snyder led the Hawks on a strong run to close the regular season. Atlanta won 19 of its final 24 contests to secure a playoff spot. The Hawks stand out as the only team to defeat the Knicks at any point in these playoffs ahead of Monday’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals. ## Historic coaching achievement Snyder holds a unique coaching distinction by guiding back-to-back winners of the Most Improved Player award. He coached Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels in successive seasons to claim that honor. This marks the first time any head coach has achieved such a feat in the league.
