On Friday, the Wizards hired Virginia women’s basketball assistant coach James Posey, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Posey spent five years with the Cleveland Cavaliers under Ty Lue and David Blatt the past season as an assistant in the UVA women's basketball program. Posey won two championships (Miami 2006, Boston 2008) in his 12-year NBA playing career.

Posey joins the Wizards from the Virginia Cavaliers where he served on Tina Thompson’s staff. Thompson was fired after the 2021-22 season where they went just 5-22, so it wasn’t like Posey was able to do much at UVA.
