MILLER FINDING 6 TH MAN SWAGGER AND THREE-POINT STROKE: Mike Miller has been key to the Grizzlies success this season, ranking second on the team in scoring (13.8 ppg), second in rebounding (5.6 rpg) and fourth in assists (2.7 apg; does not include Damon Stoudamire). Miller is also second on the team in double-doubles, posting his sixth double-dip of the season against the Clippers on Mar. 23, finishing with 21 points, a game-high 14 rebounds and four assists. Miller s six double-doubles also includes his first career triple-double (see Miller in 3-D below). The Grizzlies star reserve has come off the bench in 54 of 62 games played this season and recorded double figures in scoring in 46 games, including 14 games of 20 points and two games of 30 or more (season-high 41 vs. Denver last game). *He ranks first in scoring off the bench in the NBA (13.4 ppg off the bench; min. 40 games), and is also one of only three players in the league shooting over 40.0% from three-point range while averaging better than 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists this season (Nowitzki, DAL; Richardson, GSW). MILLER HAS CAREER-NIGHT: Mike Miller scored a career-high 41 points on 15-24 shooting, including a 5-12 performance from three-point range on Mar. 17 vs. Denver, also tying the franchise mark for points in a single game (Bryant Reeves, @ BOS on Jan. 15/98). Miller s 41 points also established a new franchise record for most points scored by a Grizzly off the bench, while his 17 points in the second quarter was the most by a Grizzly in a single quarter this season and his 22 points in the first tied the mark for the most in a half. It also marked the third-highest total by a non-starter over the last 10 years. Darius Miles had 47 as a sub for Portland last April and Allen Iverson had a 43-point game coming off the bench in March 2002. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES GASOL POSTS FIRST CAREER TRIPLE-DOUBLE: Pau Gasol had one of the best all-around games of his career at Seattle on Mar. 8, finishing with a game-high 21 points, 12 rebounds and a game and career-high 12 assists recording the first triple-double of his career. Gasol s triple-double was just the fifth in franchise history, and second since the team s relocation to Memphis (see Miller in 3-D below). *Gasol is the only player in the NBA to post a triple-double consisting of at least 20 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists this season (joins Jason Kidd as one of only two players in the NBA to post at least 12 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists this season). Gasol also had a career-high four steals and three blocks in 41 minutes. BATTIER NAMED TO MEN S SENIOR NATIONAL TEAM PROGRAM: On Sunday, March 5 USA Basketball revealed the 23 players, including 18 who have played previously for USA Basketball teams, who have been named to the historic 2006-2008 USA Men's Senior National Team program. The selections were announced by USA Basketball Men's Senior National Team program Managing Director Jerry Colangelo. Named to the 2006-08 USA Senior National Team were: Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets); Gilbert Arenas (Washington Wizards); Shane Battier (Memphis Grizzlies); Chauncey Billups (Detroit Pistons); Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors); Bruce Bowen (San Antonio Spurs); Elton Brand (Los Angeles Clippers); Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers); Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic); LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers); Antawn Jamison (Washington Wizards); Joe Johnson (Atlanta Hawks); Shawn Marion (Phoenix Suns); Brad Miller (Sacramento Kings); Adam Morrison (Gonzaga University); Lamar Odom (Los Angeles Lakers); Chris Paul (New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets); Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics); J.J. Redick (Duke University); Michael Redd (Milwaukee Bucks); Luke Ridnour (Seattle SuperSonics); Amaré Stoudemire (Phoenix Suns); and Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat). Battier s previous USA Basketball experience includes taking part in the 2001 Goodwill Games as well as the 1997 Nike Hoop Summit. The 23 selectees are expect to report when the USA opens training in mid-july. The exact training dates and sites will be announced at a later date. GASOL PULLS DOWN GAME-HIGH 12 REBOUNDS IN FIRST ALL-STAR ACTION: Pau Gasol appeared in his first All-Star game Sunday night, finishing with a game-high 12 rebounds, including a game-high six on the offensive end (tied with Tim Duncan) in 14 minutes of action. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, prior to Sunday, only one player had even half that many total rebounds in an NBA All-Star Game in which he failed to score (Darrell Imhoff had seven boards in the 1967 All-Star Game; Ben Wallace also had eight rebounds without scoring on Sunday night). His 12 rebounds is also the most in an All-Star game since Tim Duncan pulled down 13 caroms in the 2004 All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Gasol represents the Grizzlies first All-Star in franchise history and the first Spanish player in NBA history to be selected to the All-Star team. WARRICK FINISHES THIRD IN SLAM DUNK COMPETITION: Grizzlies rookie Hakim Warrick also participated in this past weekend s All-Star festivities, placing third in the Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk competition Saturday night. The Knicks Nate Robinson edged out the 76ers Andre Igoudala to take this year s crown. Warrick becomes the first Memphis Grizzlies player to compete in the contest, and second player in franchise history to participate in the event (Stromile Swift, 2001 Slam Dunk competition). Warrick honed his high-wire act at Syracuse University where he accumulated 297 dunks in his 135-game tenure (average of 2.2 per game). MILLER IN 3-D; GRIZZ STAR RESERVE POSTS FIRST CAREER TRIPLE-DOUBLE: Mike Miller recorded his first career triple-double in a win over Sacramento on Jan. 10, finishing with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in 41 minutes off the bench. Miller s efforts marked the fourth triple-double in franchise history, and first since the team s relocation to Memphis ending the Grizzlies' streak of 452 games without a player recording a triple-double (since Mike Bibby had one on Apr. 2/00). At the time, it was the second-longest current drought in the league. Utah (at the time) had the longest active streak, but snapped their drought as well at 530 straight games when Andrei Kirilenko recorded his first career triple-double on Jan. 17 (first since Karl Malone posted one on May 4/99). Miller is just the third NBA player in the last 10 years to record a triple-double in a game that he did not start. Shawn Bradley did it for Dallas on Apr. 7/98 as did Magic Johnson for the Lakers on Feb. 14/96. 2005-06 TEAM HIGHLIGHTS: - The Grizzlies win on Nov. 19 @ Utah gave Mike Fratello his 47 th victory with Memphis, surpassing Sidney Lowe as the franchise s second-winningest coach in history. - The Grizzlies opened the season by going 10-5 in November, their best opening month in franchise history. The Grizzlies were one of only seven teams to post 10 or more wins in November in the NBA this season. - Memphis won three-straight games by 20 or more points for the first time with wins over Dallas (Nov. 26), Toronto (Nov. 30) and Orlando (Dec. 2), accomplishing the feat for the first time in franchise history. - The Grizzlies tied the franchise record for the most wins in December, going 9-5 in the month. - By earning their 20 th win with a victory over Golden State on Jan. 3 (only 30 games into the season), the Grizzlies reached the 20-win plateau quicker than they have in any other season. The previous best was through 38 games, accomplished both last season and in the 2003-04 season. For comparison, the Grizzlies didn t crack 20 wins in each of their first four seasons (including the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season). - The Grizzlies record of 25-16 through their first 41 games was their best first-half start to a season in franchise history. GRIZZLIES IN THE COMMUNITY : TICKETS FOR KIDS The Memphis Grizzlies' Tickets for Kids program facilitates the distribution of tickets purchased by Grizzlies season ticket holders, corporate sponsors, players, coaches, and owners to charities and youth organizations throughout the Mid-South. The program aims to provide children who would not otherwise have the resources the opportunity to attend a Grizzlies home basketball game. While doing so, the Grizzlies aim to recognize hard work and achievement in the classroom. This season, 13 Grizzlies players and the coaching staff have donated the resources necessary to provide area children with tickets to Grizzlies home games. Contact Grizzlies Media Relations for more information and feature opportunities.

GRIZZLIES HEAD COACH, MIKE FRATELLO President of Basketball Operations Jerry West announced on December 2, 2004 that NBA veteran coach Mike Fratello had been named the Grizzlies seventh head coach in team history. Fratello, 57, joined the Grizzlies as one of the NBA s most successful coaches in history, ranking 19 th on the alltime wins list (572) and 21 st on the all-time games coached list (1,037). A 13-year coaching veteran, he had compiled a 572-465 (.552) overall NBA record, qualifying for the NBA playoffs in nine of his 13 seasons as a head coach (20-34), with an all-time playoff record of 20-34. Fratello inherited a struggling Grizzlies squad that had opened the year 5-11, but quickly started to turn the season around with a victory in his very first game as Memphis head coach with a 94-86 victory over Philadelphia. Under the direction of The Czar, the team went on to post their longest winning streak of the season, winning six consecutive games from December 27 January 7. Memphis carried their momentum throughout January, posting the most wins in the month in franchise history, going 12-3, including an NBA best mark of 6-2 on the road. The Grizzlies efforts during the month earned Fratello Coach of the Month honors for the fourth time in his career, and first with the Grizzlies. The team s 21-9 record in their first 30 games under Fratello, was at the time tied for the seventh best start under a head coach that took over mid or part-way through the season. On March 4, 2005, Fratello reached yet another milestone, becoming just the 19 th coach in NBA history to post 600 wins in his professional coaching career. The Grizzlies finished the year at 45-37, earning a spot in the playoffs for the second consecutive season, and second time in franchise history. Fratello began his NBA coaching career as an assistant coach with the Atlanta Hawks (1978-82), before stepping into his first head coaching role when he and Brendan Suhr were named co-interim head coaches of the Hawks, replacing Hubie Brown 79 games into the 1980-81 season. In 1982, he joined the New York Knicks as an assistant coach for one season (1982-83) before returning to the Hawks as head coach in 1983 to lead Atlanta for seven seasons. During his seven-year stint, he compiled a 324-250 winning record (.564), advancing to the playoffs in five seasons, including leading the Hawks to a Central Division title in 1987. His 324 regular season victories, 18 postseason wins and 577 games coached rank second among Hawks alltime franchise coaching lists. He set a franchise record for winning at least 50 games in four consecutive seasons (1985-89), earning 1986 NBA Coach of the Year honors after leading the Hawks to a 50-32 record. In 1990, he left the sidelines to join the broadcasting booth for the first time in his career when he signed on to cover the NBA on NBC Sports for three seasons (1990-93). In 1993, he returned to the coaching ranks to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers, compiling a 248-212 regular season record and guiding his team to four post-season appearances during his six-year stint (1993-99). His 248 victories rank third on Cleveland s all-time list. After six seasons with Cleveland, Fratello resumed his broadcasting career, joining Turner Sports in 1999 where he has served as a broadcaster for NBA basketball for the past six years. Partnered with Marv Albert and Steve Kerr for TNT s Thursday Night NBA coverage, he also served as an NBA analyst during the playoffs from 1994-1996. In addition, he served as a television analyst for the Miami HEAT broadcast team for three seasons before joining the Grizzlies.
