The Memphis Grizzlies fired coach Marc Iavaroni after a season and a half, the Commercial Appeal reported Thursday.
The Grizzlies will begin the search for Iavaroni's replacement, which will come from outside of the organization. Former Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks and Milwaukee Bucks assistant and former Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins will be among the candidates, a source told the Commercial Appeal.
One of the Grizzlies' assistants will coach the team against the New York Knicks on Friday.

Like what was said after Theus got canned:

"It's the players, stupid."

I thought Ivy would have done better last season...but this season is on par for expectations. Good luck finding a decent coach who'll want to fill his shoes.
