Head Coach David Fizdale David Fizdale was named the 29th head coach in New York Knickerbockers franchise

history on May 7, 2018.

Fizdale, 44, led the Memphis Grizzlies to a 50-51 (.495) regular season record as head

coach over the past two seasons (2016-17 and 2017-18), which included a trip to the

NBA Playoffs in 2017.

Prior to joining the Grizzlies for his first NBA head coaching assignment, Fizdale spent

the previous eight seasons (2008-09 thru 2015-16) with the Miami Heat as an

assistant coach, including the final two years as assistant head coach under Erik

Spoelstra. During his tenure in Miami, the Heat won back-to-back NBA Championships

in 2012 and 2013, and more Playoff games (70) and series (15) than any other NBA

team.

With a decade-and-a-half of NBA coaching experience, the Los Angeles native was an

assistant coach for one season in Golden State (2003-04) and for four seasons in

Atlanta (2004-05 thru 2007-08).

Fizdale began his coaching career in the college ranks, serving as an assistant coach at

his alma mater, the University of San Diego (1998-99 thru 2001-02) and at Fresno

State (2002-03). His first NBA job was as a member of the Heat’s video department in

1997-98.

Fizdale was a three-year starter at the University of San Diego and was named to the

All-West Coast Conference team as a senior in 1995-96 when he led the Conference in

assists with 7.0 APG.

Born on June 16, 1974 in Los Angeles, David earned a bachelor’s degree in

communications with a minor in sociology from San Diego in 1996.
