Chris Wallace, Grizzlies GM, Comments on Decision to Fire Dave Joerger
- Updated: May 7, 2016
Memphis Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace offered insight into his decision to fire head coach Dave Joerger on Saturday, saying it was not about personal animosity or his in-game basketball moves.
“The decision was not about [Joerger’s] in-game coaching,” Wallace said in a Q&A with the team’s official website. “[Joerger] did an admirable job managing games. However, being an NBA head coach is about more than just coaching a 48-minute game.
“Nothing about this decision was personal,” Wallace continued. “Neither I, nor anyone in our front office has anything against [Joerger] as a person. This decision is solely about what I believe is best for the organization.”
Joerger, 42, compiled a 147-99 record in three seasons as Grizzlies coach. His .598 winning percentage is the best in franchise history, and Memphis made the playoffs in 2015-16 despite massive roster upheaval. He helped foster the grit-‘n-grind mentality that began under former coach Lionel Hollins and took the Grizzlies to the conference semifinals last season.
