?????????????

After the season is one thing, but as you’re ramping up for a playoff run? What the hell are they thinking?

Curious to see what comes out to explain doing this before the postseason. This makes no sense unless the lockerroom had turned on him or something really bad was about to come out about Jenkins.

Wtf? He's been making that team overachieve and has had to deal with a lot of crap.

Some serious stuff behind the scenes must have been going down.

i like this. with the new multi million dollar guaranteed contracts coaches get, they have a position of power and can be ok leaving someplace if it's no longer working. provided this is all on the up and up.

This is going to be spicy. Obviously something non-ball related happened.

Timing of this seems strange, doesn't it?

What's the backstory here, I had no idea there was a "coaching problem" in Memphis

Is some big news about to break on him? The timing of this makes zero sense.
