ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks coach Quin Snyder sat out Tuesday night's 127-121 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks with an illness, forcing assistant Igor Kokoskov to serve as acting coach. Snyder was with the team for pregame functions, including his regular media availability. His absence with flu-like symptoms was a surprise to his players. Trae Young said nobody knew Snyder was sick until right before tipoff. Kokoskov is a native of Serbia who has coached in the NBA for 19 years.
