I might be the only one here that's a bit skeptical of Fizdale in here, mostly because the whole Coli thinks he's the second coming of Jesus and we already know how right the Coli analyst are :francis:

At least we dodged the Mark Jackson/David Blatt bullet :whew:

Not my first choice, but its a move I'm more than ok with.


Big Facts!

I wanted Bud here man....breh was Beli to Pop’s Parcells and you can just tell he’s gonna win a championship some day.

Did we really just hire someone the fukkin Grizzlies (perennial underachievers) didn’t consider good enough?

I hope I’m wrong though...

He got fired because Marc Gasol didn't like him and he tried to institute too much change from the Grit N Grind era too quickly. :francis:

He was a good coach and had some success there his first year and he got them to ditch their offense for a more modern one. You gotta remember he's from the Riley lineage as Spo's assistant during the Heatles days too.

Grizz fired him over some issues with Gasol if I'm not mistaken, and the weak record prior to the signing was more of roster changes and injuries

he would bench marc towards the end of games when teams went small.
marc gasol wanted to work from the midpost like he used to but ironically he was more efficient under fizdale when he didnt and made him space the court more.
