The news: Flip Saunders has been fired by the Washington Wizards, ESPN reports.
The big news: RANDY WITTMAN! will be replacing Saunders as Wiz coach.
Saunders clearly wasn’t able to get through to Andray Blatche, Nick Young, Jordan Crawford, and the other assorted Wiz misfits. Who could?
I wrote about this after attending a Wiz game last Friday. Bottom line is, they’re hopeless.
I can’t wait to see how they react to Wittman’s DISCIPLINARIAN schtick.
Only the Wiz. *Sigh.*

There is no better man for this job than Randy Wittman.
He coached Ricky Buckets and Shaddy McCants in back-to-back seasons.
@Andy G: And, Witt’s .361 winning percentage as Wolves coach is way better than the Wiz’s .118 clip this year! Nowhere to go but up!
@Andy G: Make that .265 with the Wolves. Oops! The last points still stand!
This isn’t about winning. It’s about building a culture of accountability.
(Breaks out in laughter…)
@Andy G: RUMINT says NOBODY can hold ‘Dray Blatche accountable (in the club).
