Following a second-consecutive 35-win season, Washington Wizards Head Coach Wes Unseld Jr. finds himself in hot water. Despite having talented rosters, Unseld has yet to reach the playoffs, let alone the play-in.
On a lot of teams, he would’ve been fired. However, with the team transitioning into a rebuild, combined with owner Ted Leonsis’ desire to let coaches finish their contracts, Unseld will still get another chance.
The most frustrating part of his tenure has been missed opportunities. Whether it be blowing 20-point leads or losing the locker room, the Wizards have hurt themselves too often.
