Looks to be an interesting move. Looking forward to seeing what he will bring to the Grizzlies Den.

Unfortunately this is expected to be the biggest off season signing, which is a shame.

Great addition. I trust more in Stack than in JB to be honest.

Given the history of the Grizzlies in recent memory, I can understand. With this hiring, the Grizzlies need another person very capable of lighting a fire under some players asses to hold them accountable and to improve from their mistakes. Also with Stack, this move puts him in the door in terms of when he gets his own team someday he will have a notch like this under his belt.

I somehow miss this on yesterday. The Grizzlies also signed another assistant coach Vitaly Potapenko to the coaching staff. Potapenko played his NBA career with the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Pacers. He did several years as an assistant coach with the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers. I don't know how revere he is as an assistant coach. His role is in player development. Take it with a grain of salt. Hope he works out.
