Randy Wittman‘s name hasn’t been said inside of the Verizon Center since April 13, when he was fired after serving four years as head coach of the Washington Wizards.
Wittman is one of the most accomplished coaches in the team’s history with two first round series victories under his belt.
Despite the success he had in the playoffs – he outcoached both Tom Thibodeau and Dwane Casey in the postseason – Wittman will always be remembered for his stubborn, old-school approach in D.C.
Wittman became one of the last coaches in the league to embrace the “space-and-pace” movement, but failed to keep the elite defense that he became known for after he took over for the late Flip Saunders in 2012.
