Apr 11, 2025; Denver, Colorado, USA; Memphis Grizzlies interim head coach Tuomas Iisalo calls out in the first quarter against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images The Memphis Grizzlies made Tuomas Iisalo’s stay behind the bench a permanent one by naming him the Grizzlies’ head coach on Friday.
“I have full confidence in Tuomas serving as head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies going forward,” general manager Zach Kleiman said in a statement. “Tuomas’ teams at every level have been disciplined, tenacious and connected on both ends of the floor, consistently exceeding expectations. We look forward to the same in Memphis.”
The Grizzlies fired head coach Taylor Jenkins on March 28 despite the club’s 44-29 record at the time and named Iisalo interim head coach.
Under Iisalo, the Grizzlies went 4-5, finishing 48-34 in the regular season and making the playoffs via the play-in tournament before being swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.
Iisalo, 42, joined the Grizzlies as an assistant under Jenkins ahead of this past season. He was coming off a stint as the head coach of Paris Basketball in 2024, when he was named EuroCup Coach of the Year in his native Finland.
The hire makes him the first NBA coach born in Finland.
Iisalo, who had a 14-year professional playing career in Finland, has big shoes to fill. Jenkins, 40, is the winningest coach in Grizzlies’ franchise history with a 250-214 record with three playoff appearances since being hired in June 2019.

2025 NFL Draft: Pittsburgh Steelers breakdown
Building a devastating pass rush: Instead of snagging a quarterback in Round 1, the Steelers opted to build perhaps the scariest defensive front in the NFL by adding one of the class’ best interior pass rushers in Derrick Harmon. Can Kaleb Johnson take over the Steelers‘ backfield? The Iowa standout has the size to stand up to the wear and put up huge numbers in 2025, charting as one of just nine backs in the nation to rack up more than 1,000 yards after contact this past season.

Rada je novým manažerem ženského fotbalu ve Viktorii Plzeň
„Jsem rád, že se nám podařilo získat takto zkušeného odborníka, troufnu si říci, jednoho z nejpovolanějších u nás. Fotbal žen nabývá obecně velké popularity a i naším společným cílem je posunout jej i ve Viktorii,“ řekl na klubovém webu předseda představenstva a generální ředitel Plzně Adolf Šádek.Čtyřiapadesátiletý někdejší obránce dovedl české fotbalistky do elitní divize Ligy národů, v níž sice skončily poslední, připsaly si ale i historický triumf nad mistryněmi světa Španělkami. Na premiérový postup na velký turnaj ale vicemistr Evropy z roku 1996 s týmem žen nedosáhl.
Barcelona angry at referee for Champions League semi-final second leg against Inter
Barcelona finished the match upset with Marciniak's performance. During the match, the Spanish side already protested many decisions to the referee and, at the end of the match, the players who spoke to the media and Hansi Flick publicly showed their disagreement with some of the decisions. In fact, it is not usual to hear the German coach talk about the referee. It was probably the day he referred to the referee the most."I don't want to talk too much about the referee, but every decision he made, if it was 50-50, it was for them. I told him what I think, but I'm not going to say it here," said the coach. In fact, Hansi Flick was shown the yellow card for protesting and was also seen talking to the referee at the end of the first half when […]
