Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder has found new help.

Atlanta Hawks condition coach Jeff Watkinson is leaving Georgia to come work with the Jazz, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Snyder worked with Watkins when he was an assistant with the Hawks, and the two also share an affinity from their time in the NCAA ranks, with Missouri.

“We are excited for Jeff as he enters this next phase of his career,” Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer said. “He was an important part of our player development program and his positive relationships with our players, coaches and support staff will be greatly missed. We wish him the best of luck as he joins Quin’s staff in Utah.”
