Randy Wittman Reportedly Fired by Wizards: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

After parts of five seasons as head coach of the Washington Wizards, Randy Wittman was reportedly relieved of his duties on Wednesday.

Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post cited a source who said Wittman would not return in 2016-17. Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical noted former Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks was a "strong candidate to replace him."

Wittman led to Wiz to the playoffs in both 2013-14 and 2014-15, and they advanced into the second round each time. He could not build upon that success in 2015-16, though, as Washington went 41-41 and missed the postseason.
