He's going to be an assistant coach for the Grizzlies.

Former Denver Nuggets head coach Jeff [Redacted] is expected to sign a contract this week to become an assistant coach with the Memphis Grizzlies, a source told Yahoo Sports.

[Redacted] has 17 years of NBA experience as a head coach, assistant coach, personnel scout and advance scout with the Nuggets, Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Washington Bullets. He had a 60-104 record as head coach of the Nuggets from 2002-05, including a 43-win season in 2003-04 in which he coached a playoff team led by then-rookie Carmelo Anthony. The defensive-minded [Redacted] has also been a head coach at Air Force (2005-07), Colorado (2007-10) and Wake Forest (2010-14).

I already feel sorry for all 11 of their fans.
 
I read that the tattooed thug James Johnson is leaving Memphis for Toronto, so the culture clean-out operation has already begun.
 
I would love to hear the "advanced negotiations" referred to in the article. I'm sure they have narrowed their differences down to the hundreds of thousands range after days arguing over millions.

And, finally, "Wrongor" will have a short enough drive to watch his favorite coach as often as he likes.
 
NBA teams have a ridiculous number of assistant coaches these days (5, yes 5 for a roster of 15 players). This does not include the head coach, the video coordinators, the scouts, and the stats guys, etc. Jeff... will be assigned some limited technical role which won't involve dealing with media, recruiting players to Memphis, motivating the team, generating fan support, and every other task that you would expect from a head coach. He could be adequate in a limited role.

BTW, if you ever sit close to the bench at NBA game the number of guys in suits that appear to have some "coaching" role with the team is hilarious. NBA teams lose thousands in revenue, by giving up premium on the floor seats to so many empty suits that provide marginal, at best, benefits to the team.

Agree with Pilchard. Assistant coaches in the NBA are useless. These guys are professionals. If you have a good head coach and maybe one assistant/scout doing analytics stuff, the marginal returns on these "assistant" coaches are close to 0.

Pilch, college basketball is the same way. They all have a head coach, 3 assistant coaches, director of basketball operations, a player development coach & 2 video coordinators. And that is for only 13 players on scholarship for the men's side. Baseball on the other hand can have about 25 total people on schollies divided up among the 11.7 and might have 5 total coaches.

Basketball makes money. Baseball does not.
 
Thinking about going to a game when the Grizzlies come to town - I still have some pent up Buzz hate that needs getting out.

At some schools baseball makes money...like in the SEC, where they average 5000+ per game. At some schools like UConn, Tennessee, Stanford & Baylor womens basketball makes money. At some SEC schools gymnastics sell out and make money. What is your point? Most schools when it comes down to actual net, lose money on football because of the number of schollies & all the money spent on recruiting. There are only about 10 schools that actually make money in college football.

Show me the numbers that these programs are actually making money. I'll give you Tenn WBB because of licensing. Those attendance numbers with the cost of the tickets are almost certainly not covering the operating costs of the program.

So that's why everyone says [Redacted] is more of an NBA guy. He's got the asst coach role nailed to a T.
