Washington Wizards head coach Wes Unseld has led the team to two consecutive lottery bound seasons. While that may grounds for his termination with some teams, the Wizards are bringing him back next season according to Tim Robbins of The Athletic.
The news isn’t particularly surprising, because Unseld has long-standing ties with the franchise, and the team hasn’t played at full strength for most of his first two seasons in Washington. Also, Robbins noted that the Wizards have been patient with head coach and front office hires. The only head coach to last less than four seasons since 2003 was the late Flip Saunders.
