Assistant Coaches Paid Bonuses

By Lee Eric Smith On June 6, 2011 · Add Comment · In June, 2011

Just a quick blurb about a rumor that was startedlast Thursdayon the Grizzlies Message Boards.

The rumor that the entire Grizzlies Assistant Coaching staff had been fired and their playoff bonuses not paid turned out to be a bit of an exagerration. The post stated:

A reliable source just told me that most, if not all of the assistants have been let go. Additionally, they have not been paid their bonuses for making the playoffs.

Mike Conley-Past, Present, Future

By Lee Eric Smith On June 6, 2011 · 1 Comment · In June, 2011

It’d be easy to say that this was the season where Mike Conley finally lived up to his draft position. It would also be easy to say that this was the season that he continued to wilt, especially as the lights became brighter as the season and postseason wore on.

I suppose Grizzlies fans should feel proud that the team’s assistant coaches are in such high demand not only around the NBA but in the NCAA as well.
