Quin Snyder has decided to leave Mike Brown's staff with the Lakers to join Ettore Messina with CSKA Moscow as an assistant coach next season, (http://www.insidesocal.com/lakers/2012/07/assistant-coach-quin-snyder-le.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter) a league source said Monday. Snyder and Messina spent last season together with the Lakers, after Brown was hired to replace the retired Phil Jackson in May 2011. Messina opted to return to Moscow, where he coached from 2005 to '09. Snyder was mentioned as a candidate for NBA head coaching vacancies in Charlotte and Orlando.

If it goes well there, maybe he gets the Chernobyl franchise! Weird.

this is old news. He went to the best Russian team. Do you remember the olympics? This russian team is one of the best on the other side of the Atlantic, and he's getting head coaching experience.

It's not that russia's not ok.But if your trying to be an nba head coach you don't walk away from being an assistant on a title contender in the nations 2nd largest media market.That's really stupid!

Yeah i do.This is phil jackson.I log onto bobcats planet under an alias all the time just to fuck with arrogant dickheads like you! And it's just common sense.Your not gonna get better @ evaluating and dealing with nba talent if your 5 thousand miles away coaching a in a league that plays a completely different style of basketball.It makes absolutely no sense.If snyder wants to get more opportunities for nba teams he needs to spend more time around nba teams.His lack of experience is why he's not a head coach yet and this won't help.

you guys need to get your facts straight:

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Before Lakers assistant Quin Snyder agreed to lucrative spot w/ CSKA-Moscow, he turned down interview for head job w/ Magic, sources tell Y!

clearly this guy had very good reasons for going.
