LOS ANGELES, May 7 (Reuters) - If the National Basketball Association's 2015-16 campaign has revealed anything about coaching, it is that no job can be considered safe any more.
The Memphis Grizzlies dismissed coach Dave Joerger on Saturday, a move which would have come as a surprise in any other season bar this one.
Joerger, who had been with the franchise since becoming an assistant in 2007, enjoyed three winning seasons and recently pushed the Grizzlies to a third consecutive playoff appearance, despite serious injuries to key players.
Those achievements were not enough, however, to secure his job.
