The Washington Wizards continue to strengthen their coaching staff with one high-profile assistant hire after another. A day after they announced Brian Keefe as a new assistant coach, the Wizards added another highly respected coach around the league to Wes Unseld Jr’s staff in David Vanterpool.
The Washington Wizards are hiring David Vanterpool as an assistant coach, sources tell ESPN. He’ll join Wes Unseld’s staff after stops with Brooklyn, Minnesota and Portland. A native of the Washington, DC-area, Vanterpool brings a strong background in player development.
