Tuomas Iisalo is officially the next Memphis Grizzlies head coach after being the interim for 15 games. He had been Taylor Jenkins' assistant.

Tuomas Iisalo's first coaching job was with a team that got relegated. A decade later, he's the coach of the Memphis Grizzlies after the interim role removed.

Iisalo is the latest interim coach to get a full-time gig. The Kings recently removed Doug Christie's interim tag and the Spurs officially named Mitch Johnson as Gregg Popovich's successor on Friday after Johnson served as San Antonio's interim coach for most of the 2024-25 season.
