Last Shot: Snyder's second chance (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-lastshot011808&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)
...
After leaving Missouri in 2002, he dropped out of basketball for a year. He has a JD/MBA degree. He's no gym teacher. He didn't need to coach. Still, Snyder couldn't shake the game. Privately, he has told friends that he has no desire to return to college basketball. Right now, he'd be a fool. For him, Austin is a most fortuitous landing spot. The blessing of Buford and Popovich gives him second-chance credibility, the way that Duke made possible a Big 12 coaching job at 32 years old.

Pretty interesting article. He's coaching the Austin Toros (I think Jason Williams played for them at some point), a D-League affiliate of the Spurs.
