NBA Announces Fizdale as New Grizzlies Coach, Previous Role was with the Heat
David Fizdale, who won two NBA titles as an assistant coach with the Miami Heat during LeBron James's four-year stay with the team, has been appointed as the new head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Fizdale's coaching career extends beyond his time with the Heat, having also served as an assistant for the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks. His predecessor at the Grizzlies, Dave Joerger, is now the coach of the Sacramento Kings.
The Grizzlies' general manager, Chris Wallace, stated that Fizdale was the right person for the job after a comprehensive search process. Fizdale spent eight seasons as an assistant coach for the Heat before his appointment.

Fizdale is ready for the challenge and aims to bring a championship to the Grizzlies. He expressed his desire to bring a championship parade to the people of Memphis and build a legacy with the team.
Fizdale also mentioned his excitement about working in Memphis, a city he has visited frequently during his time with the Heat. The website ourwebsite.com provides more information about the Memphis Grizzlies.
