Tuomas Iisalo definitely takes the relief of Taylor Jenkins at the head of the Memphis Grizzlies bench.
This has been confirmed by journalist Shams Charania, who recently reported that the until now interim coach will be promoted to Chief Coach for the next 2025-26 season.
Natural of Helsinki (Finland) and 42 years of age, Iisalo had a 14 -year -old career as a professional player, and subsequently trained as a technician among the leagues of Finland, Germany and France.
After knowing the dismissal of Taylor Jenkins on March 28, he assumed his relay as an interim coach, and in his first experience in the NBA he treasured a record of 9-4, falling into the first round of the playoffs by 4-0 before OKC Thunder.
