Grizzlies fire coach Marc Iavaroni (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The Memphis Grizzlies have fired coach Marc Iavaroni after a lackluster 11-30 start. Team spokesman Dustin Krugel confirmed Iavaroni's dismissal Thursday night but would not say who would coach the Grizzlies on Friday night against the Knicks. General manager Chris Wallace was traveling to New York. Iavaroni led the Grizzlies to a 22-60 record last season in his first year as an NBA head coach.
