SAN ANTONIO – J.B. Bickerstaff was emotionally sandwiched between pride and pain. At one moment came the news on Monday that long-time friend David Fizdale was being relieved as Grizzlies head coach barely 20 games into the season. A day after that jarring information was shared, Bickerstaff was promoted Tuesday to interim coach for the remainder of the season. His first task Wednesday is to attempt to close out a brutal November and help the Grizzlies (7-12) snap an eight-game losing streak in a game against San Antonio.
