Little shocked. Thought Fizdale was doing good. The terrible scouting and management in general is not on him. Promoting Bickerstaff just shows how laughable these clowns are.
Note to self: If you ever become an NBA Head Coach ... do NOT hire JBB as your assistant. Something is up with the Bickerstaff's.
Bickerstaff's master strategy to b head coach. 1. Join a team as an assistant 2. Wait until the team blows 3. take over as interim head coach when hc is fired. No way in hell this man is gonna get hired as hc the normal way, has to do this.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...vid-fizdale-name-jb-bickerstaff-interim-coach The Memphis Grizzlies fired coach David Fizdale on Monday afternoon, league sources told ESPN. Associate head coach J.B. Bickerstaff has been promoted to interim head coach, league sources said. The Grizzlies are on an eight-game losing streak, dropping to 7-12 on the season and Fizdale's tepid relationship with All-Star center Marc Gasolreached a low point with Gasol's fourth-quarter benching in a loss to Brooklyn on Sunday night. The Grizzlies advanced to the Western Conference playoffs a year ago under Fizdale, going 43-39 in the regular season.
Fizdale just tried a little too hard to look like a coaching genius and win without his best player, lol
