The Atlanta Hawks and head coach Quin Snyder have agreed to a multi-year contract extension, the team announced Monday.
He was named the 15th full-time head coach of the Hawks on February 26, 2023, following eight seasons at the helm of the Utah Jazz.
Snyder has compiled 504 career wins, the fifth-most amongst all active NBA coaches. He owns 132 wins as head coach of the Hawks, the eighth-most in franchise history.
This season, Snyder led the Hawks to a 46-win regular season in 2025-26, a six-win improvement from 2024-25. It also marked the club’s most wins since the 2015-16 season, while advancing to the Eastern Conference Playoffs for the first time since 2022-23 and the 50th time in franchise history.
Atlanta lost to the Knicks in six in the first round of the playoffs.
“Quin 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 in a statement. “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.”
From the 2026 NBA All-Star break to the end of the regular season, the Hawks compiled a 20-6 record (.769%), the best record amongst all Eastern Conference teams and the third-best record in the NBA, trailing only Western Conference finalists San Antonio Spurs (.857%) and Oklahoma City Thunder (.846%). Over that time, Atlanta ranked second in defensive rating (108.6) and fourth in net rating (9.7).
“I am grateful to the Ressler family and humbled to continue leading this team. I love this group of players, love coaching this team, and am fortunate to have a tremendous coaching staff. Atlanta has truly been home for my family, and I am excited to continue this journey,” Snyder said in a statement.
Snyder earned his fifth career Coach of the Month honors after being named the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month in March. He led the Hawks to an Eastern Conference-best 13-2 (.867%) record in the month, tied for the most wins in a single month in his head coaching career.
