There’s quite a bit in that story that doesn’t line up with my (informed) sense at the time. Grizzlies players, especially Ja, were very supportive of Iisalo becoming the full time head coach.
Here was Ja on Iisalo to end last season.
Following the “happy madness” of @CollegeGameDay, a new @USAToday op-ed by Chancellor Daniel Diermeier reflects on the meaning of college athletics and the impact of Vanderbilt’s growing momentum, on and off the field. https://t.co/tblXswn8Zl
I generally think we should give coaches more time. College football as the prime example, some great coaches were fired for a little slump, but you GOTTA be able to adjust. Love seeing Ced’s minutes go up, but almost nothing else has changed.
Grizz are 8 games into the season, and we’ve lost 2 maybe 3 games that we could have won. At some point fans need to relax and give people time to work things out. Sometimes you hate someone and 6 months later, you’re close - sometimes not. But let’s wait more than 2 weeks.
