Following the team's announcement Saturday of his firing, Dave Joerger will leave the Memphis Grizzlies as the owner of the best winning percentage (.598) by a head coach in franchise history, per ESPN Stats & Info.
Joerger led the team to a 147-99 record in three seasons, leaving him in second place on the Grizzlies coaching wins list behind only Lionel Hollins (214-201), whose contract wasn't renewed in 2013 because of the team's desire to give Joerger the job.
Though his slow-paced, defense-first brand of basketball helped the team extend its run of playoff appearances to six consecutive seasons, Joerger never took Memphis beyond the conference semifinals, posting a cumulative 9-13 record in the postseason.
