Grizzlies set to make Tuomas Iisalo next head coach

The Memphis Grizzlies had some decisions to make going into the offseason, and one of them was finding a new head coach after firing Taylor Jenkins toward the end of the season. It looks like they are staying with familiarity and hiring Tuomas Iisalo, according to Grizzlies PR.

“The Memphis Grizzlies today announced the team has named Tomas lisalo (twa-mas EE-za-low) as head coach. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed,” Grizzlies PR wrote.

“I have full confidence in Tomas serving as head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies going forward,” Grizzlies President and General Manager of Basketball Operations Zachary Z. Kleiman said. “Tuomas’ teams at every level have been disciplined, tenacious and connected on both ends of the floor, consistently exceeding expectations. We look forward to the same in Memphis.”
