Another coach bites the dust, although this one is a shock with the playoffs around the corner.

So Memphis just pushed the eject button on Taylor Jenkins with NINE games left before the playoffs. This is like firing your wedding planner while guests are arriving at the venue. Actually I’ve got a better analogy: this isn’t just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic...it’s installing a whole new captain while the iceberg is in view.

Nine games before the playoffs!
