I hadn't realized he had been doing good. Hell, I thought the Jazz were a G-League team
Why did Memphis fire its coach now?
Midday on Friday, the Grizzlies decided to fire their coach, Taylor Jenkins. The firing itself wasn’t shocking because there had long been signs they were headed for a split. It was the timing that shocked the basketball world, because it happened with nine games to go in a season where the Grizzlies are battling for the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference. Like … they’re really battling for the No. 4 seed.
After losing to the Lakers on Saturday, the Grizzlies are 44-30 with eight games left to play and holding the fifth seed. They’re a game behind the Lakers (45-29) and one game ahead of Golden State (43-31). We’ve seen plenty of good and successful coaches get fired. We’ve seen Coach of the Year winners get fired in the same year as winning the award. But this timing? It’s a new one. Let’s figure out why:
Why were the Grizzlies and Jenkins expected to part ways? In the offseason, the Grizzlies fired Jenkins’ assistant staff and hired a new one, including now-interim coach Tuomas Iisalo, without really involving him. That’s never a good sign for long-term job security.
Was there anything else? They had Iisalo and recently fired assistant coach Noah LaRoche implement a new motion offense, which was not Jenkins’ idea or preference.
Did the offense work? Swimmingly! The Grizzlies were 11th in offense two seasons ago and are sixth in offense now.
So, what’s the issue? Well, Ja Morant doesn’t seem to like the offense, and the Grizzlies don’t really beat any good teams anyway. They mostly just beat up on bad teams, especially lately.
Is that why Jenkins got fired? That was probably the tipping point. The Grizzlies haven’t beaten a team above .500 since Milwaukee on Feb. 2. They’ve lost 10 straight games against good teams. They’re now 11-21 against non-losing teams and 33-9 against losing teams.
But why now? Jenkins doesn’t have the best playoff record, and the Grizzlies are probably desperate to salvage something here — especially if it feels like Jenkins lost the confidence of enough people. He won one playoff series in his tenure, and it was one of the worst-played all-around series ever, between Memphis and Minnesota in 2022.
Is this interim coach Iisalo guy going to be the answer moving forward? The writing on the wall suggests so, but nothing is official. Memphis paid a lot of money to bring him over from Paris to be an assistant. He’s a legendary offensive coach there, and this feels like a big audition.
