Grizzlies fire coach David Fizdale

I only mention this because I had never heard of this guy, and when I first saw "Grizzlies fire Coach Fizdale" on my FB feed, I thought it was either a typo, an Onion link, or a snarky joke about a poor coaching debut by Waymon Tisdale.

Seriously - who here knew that the Grizzlies' head coach was a guy named David Fizdale?  Seems like you'd have to be a pretty hard core NBA fan....

I did. He was the Heat top assistant when they went to the Finals with LeBron and Wade.

The better question is who in the world is living under the rock to the point of missing one of the greatest lines in a coaching postgame rant on officiating?  "Take that for data!"  And if that line wasn't in there, "They're not gonna rook us" would be one of the greatest lines ever, too.

I'd take Fizdale over Kidd in a heartbeat.

Fizzy Wizzy was a bear.
Fizzy Wizzy had no hair.
Fizzy Wizzy wasn't very Fizzy, was he?

Guess we have more NBA aficionados than I realized.
