While the Hawks are currently playing their first round of the playoffs against Boston, after an eventful regular season, marked in particular by the dismissal of Nate McMillan during the exercise and his immediate replacement by Quin Snyder, the management of the club is already preparing for next season.
While waiting to (probably) touch the workforce during the summer, it is therefore to the staff that Landry Fields and his team are already making some changes for the 2023/24 season, since ESPN announcement that Mike Breycoach of Notre Dame in the NCAA from 2000 to 2023, will join the staff of Quin Snyder from the next school year, in a role for the moment unknown.
One can imagine, for example, a role of consultant, given the age of the “young” retiree (64 years old) and his possible weariness of “coaching” after 40 seasons in the NCAA. With his long experience on the university circuit and his qualities as a trainer, Mike Brey could undoubtedly support the Hawks technician, renowned for his openness to all types of basketball.
Note also that Mike Brey and Quin Snyder have known each other for a long time since they officiated together, as assistants, in Mike Krzyzewski’s staff at Duke between 1993 and 1995. Before the first took control of the program from Delaware, and the second from the Missouri program four years later, in 1999.
It will therefore be a reunion, almost thirty years later, of former colleagues at the Hawks from the next school year, and it is very clear that this recruitment was certainly supported by Quin Snyder, with the aim of feeling more at home. his ease for his first “real season” next year, when he arrived during the season two months ago and therefore composes with a staff that is not “his”.
