With Tuomas Iisalo’s innovative approach, the Grizzlies might have found the perfect piece to elevate their game.
Last summer, Memphis Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman revamped former head coach Taylor Jenkins' coaching staff. Included in the revamp was the addition of their current head coach, Tuomas Iisalo, whom the Grizzlies outbid the Washington Wizards for to bring him over from Paris Basketball.
His time coaching in Paris was so impressive that ESPN's Brian Windhorst mentioned on a recent episode of The Hoop Collective that an NBA assistant coach went on a college tour and found out that many were studying his offensive sets from Paris Basketball.
