Hubie Brown Resigns

"...Memphis, Tennessee, November 25, 2004 -- Grizzlies President of Basketball Operations Jerry West announced that after a successful 33-year basketball coaching career, Grizzlies Head Coach Hubie Brown is retiring. Grizzlies Assistant Coach Lionel Hollins has been named the team’s interim head coach.

“Unexpected health-related issues will not allow me to continue coaching the Memphis Grizzlies,” said Hubie Brown. “This situation was unforeseen and absolutely non-existent at the beginning of the season...."

This is terrible news. Hubie is the best. I hope he is able to get his health under control. Best wishes Mr. Brown.

11/26 UPDATE: Mike Fratello to replace Hubie Brown. This is a real suprise choice to me! I heard this during the Sacramento/Laker game on ESPN.
