He spoke to the media for less than three minutes and was intentionally vague of his reasoning, but The Director General of Grizzlies, Zach Kleiman, took possession of the Change of surprise coaching, pulling Taylor Jenkins Nine games before the playoffs.
“I came to the conclusion that this is in the best interest of the team, and the urgency is one of the other of our principle, so I decided to continue the move,” Kleiman told journalists during the shot of the Grizzlies on Saturday, before the team had a critical match against the Lakers.
Pressed for a better explanation of the reasoning behind the dismissal of the most victorious coach in the history of the Memphis franchise, Kleiman moved away from the subject.
“In this case, I will leave it that I have of course thought of this real thought and the conclusion that it is in the best interest of our team in the future,” he said.
Kleiman said on several occasions that he had not consulted the players on this decision: “This decision is mine and mine.”
Which shocked the others around the league Was less the dismissal and the more timing, a few weeks before the playoffs, while the grizzlies were 44-29 and tied in the fourth row in the West (with the Lakers, to which the grizzly clarches face on Saturday evening). A source of the league told NBC Sports that JA MORANT, a goalkeeper of the stars, was not satisfied with the passage of the team of more from Pick and Rolls to a greater offense based on the movement, but it was something that pushed Kleiman and why he brought assistant coach Tumas Lisalo, who is now the acting coach in Memphis.
Does Kleiman think that the dismissal of his coach will help the team to come the playoffs?
“I focus on how we operate. I am responsible for everything. I am responsible for coaching, I am responsible for the list, I am not trying to abuse myself by anything,” said Kleiman. “I am delighted to see what this team can make the rest of the path, but it is the conclusion to which I have arrived, that it is in the best interest of the team and that we advance with this group.”
Kleiman and Grizzlies enter this offseason with many difficult questions. Is this team really a new coach away? Should there be list changes? Can a nucleus led by Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. say?
Before all that, we must see how the change of grizzle coach takes place the rest of this season.
