Tuomas Iisalo is officially the next Memphis Grizzlies head coach.
Iisalo served as interim coach after Taylor Jenkins was fired with nine games left in the regular season, and he led the Grizzlies to the playoffs. They were swept by the Thunder in the first round, but Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman evidentially saw enough from Iisalo to remove the interim tag with an announcement on May 2.
