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

The team announced the deal on Monday ​but did not release the contract ‌terms.

The Hawks (46-36) finished first in the Southeast Division this season for the first time since the 2020-21 season. They lost to the New York Knicks in six games ‌in ​the first round of the ⁠playoffs.

Despite trading four-time All-Star ⁠guard Trae Young to the Washington Wizards in January, the Hawks won 19 of their final 24 games in the regular season.

“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 ​Onsi Saleh, Atlanta’s president of basketball operations. “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.”

Snyder, 59, is 132-135 through ⁠three seasons with the Hawks. His ​career ‌record in the NBA is 504-399, ​which includes ⁠eight seasons with the Utah Jazz (2014-22). He became head coach of the Hawks in 2023.

Snyder is the first NBA head coach to guide back-to-back Most Improved Player winners in Nickel Alexander-Walker (2025-26) and Dyson Daniels (2024-25).
