5. Replace David Fizdale
[xyz-ihs snippet=”Second-Middle-of-Article”]
Heat assistant coach David Fizdale recently accepted a job as the new head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies after working in Miami for close to nine years. Fizdale often worked as a “translator” for Spoelstra and a guy that could communicate with younger players in ways they could relate to. He was considered one of the best in the business and Miami will have to find a way to replace him promptly. Chances are, assistant coaches Keith Smart and Juwan Howard will step up and take over the responsibilities previously handled by Fizdale. That leaves the Heat in good hands as both guys have worked with the Heat for years and have already established meaningful relationships with players and front office members alike.
