hmm.. wut took so long

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

they need to secure a defensive minded coach, imo.

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

I'm sure D'Antoni will pick him up later on.

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

He's just clueless. This guy doesn't know what to do. First he benched Conley, then Gasol, and he even benched Rudy one time. Good riddance.

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

Can't say it was a surprise. :confusedshrug:

How many coaches have been fired this year so far?

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

Agreed. Y'all were fun to watch as an uptempo team last year. What happened? I don't see the point y'all still suck defensively.

Will Johnny be uptempo like he was when he coached Philly in 96' and Orlando in 04'?

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

This is defiantly getting close to a record breaking season for fired coaches, if not already a record.

Hopefully Grizz can get a coach who can use Mayo correctly and balance out minutes right.

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

6 so far.

Randy Wittman, Reggie Theus, Maurice Cheeks, Eddie Jordan, Sam Mitchell and Marc Iavaroni.

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

I thought it was more than that.

Didn't the coach from OKC get fired too?

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

Time to send in my resume.

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

Yea, so it's seven then.

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

Yeah, P.J. Carlesimo got fired, too. So that's a total of 7 with Iavaroni.

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

Yea when he benched Gasol I was like :wtf:

IMO he's there best big man..


And yea Pete M..PJ Carlesimo got fired..

Re: Grizzlies fire Mike Iavaroni.
 

A year late. Idiot used a scheme that minimized his best player's pros and maximized his cons (I'm talking about Pau).


I'm sure whoever comes in for him will do better unless he tries real hard, although that roster looks pretty ugly for this season (too many players that still need to develop, including Gasol and Mayo).
