lol yeah that's pretty bad. the guy took that b team to the playoffs and he gets canned but that seems to be the trend in the nba.

And he just became the leading candidate to take over as coach of the Sacramento Kings.

[Bluehorseshoe]

The follow up to the story was, Joerger asked Memphis' permission to ask about other jobs in the league so they canned him.

Or Knicks.

[LT Profits]

Or Knicks.

He won't go to Knicks. Kings could give him $4 million per year, doubt anyone will match that.

Knicks are a mess

ZERO FUTURE

Coach, u should take the job. Make a video of the sideline antics you'd make.

[Sledge187]

NBA teams are clueless!

[texhooper]

Joerger's been wanting out. Good chance they'll hire Vogel, which is like switching the left sock for the right. Will be business as usual

Why not? He's all about defense.

Don't think Phil wants him, only team I a have heard linked to him is Kings.

[jtoler]

They fired(cough contract not renewed) Lionel Hollins and shouldnt have after winning 56 games and making it to Conf. Finals. Joerger regressed big time this year winning only 40 games and a first round loss after winning 55 last year and Conf. Semis.

[pavyracer]

Memphis had to can him to go after Vogel. Very predictable move.

[jjgold]

Great coach

He will win anywhere

haha ...grit & grind meets smash mouth

Joerger is magpie coach -he took what Hollins built and ran with it. A cheap imitation of Hollins. I'm not so sure he'll get another job so easily; teams are going small/ fast not big/ slow.

Actually the other way around. Hollins was let go when management saw what Joerger was doing with the team as an assistant. He put the defense together. Hollins couldn't come close to the same results in Brooklyn.

Interesting take. What are you basing that on?

The Grizzlies' management - if you can call it that - is as dysfunctional as the Kings'. They let Hollins go because he wouldn't conform to their analytics, with John Hollinger on board. I think Joerger just happened to be the next man up.

[existential]

Pacers and Grizz swap coaches

White people get pissed when white coaches get canned

Knicks worst organization in NBA

Zero upside


Nobody will go there because of Anthony

He destroyed franchise

Rambis going there because of Phil

A joke

[Bluehorseshoe]

He got the three year deal with the Kings.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Guy cried in post series press conference. He had to go.

[IBetYou]

haha

Now reports that Hollins might return to Memphis. They need him and he needs them (and they need to resign m.conley). I hope it happens.
