The Memphis Grizzlies are hiring interim coach Tuomas Iisalo to be the team's full-time head coach, ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Friday.
Iisalo took over the team in March after the Grizzlies fired Taylor Jenkins after six seasons. Iisalo led the Grizzlies during their postseason run, which was ended quickly in a four-game first-round sweep by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He went 4–9 during his interim coaching tenure, including the playoffs.
