Wes Unseld Jr has officially been named the head coach of the Washington Wizards. He’s breaking into his very first head coaching role after spending a few years as an assistant coach and more recently, the associate head coach for the Denver Nuggets.
While it’s never great to lose an experienced member of the organization, it’s well deserved and, looks great to see the Nuggets excellence spread around the league.
