Dave Joerger Case Study

Decent Essays
Days after receiving the pink slip from the Memphis Grizzlies’ front office, the team’s former head coach Dave Joerger has found a new home to stay.
According to the official website of the NBA, the 42-year-old Joerger was hired as the new bench boss of the Sacramento Kings, who had been enduring a decade-long postseason drought, and becomes the ninth head coach since the Vivek Ranadive-owned ballclub made it to the playoffs in 2006 under Rick Adelman.
"He is a strong and passionate leader with a proven track record of producing results," general manager Vlade Divac said.
"Dave shares our focus on creating a long-term culture of winning and I look forward to a bright future ahead for the Kings with his leadership on the court."
