Wes Unseld Jr. has been removed as the head coach of the Washington Wizards and will transition to a front office role. Unseld compiled a record of 77-130 in his two-plus seasons with the team. The Wizards will have an interim coach for the season and plan to hire a full-time coach in the offseason. Brian Keefe, a former UNLV star guard, has been named the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
