It didn’t take Ryan Richman long to go from Maryland women’s basketball practices to an NBA bench.
The Maryland graduate has been promoted from Washington Wizards player development coordinator to assistant coach, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. Wizards assistants Sidney Lowe and Chad Iske left Scott Brooks’ staff this offseason, clearing space for Richman and New Orleans Pelicans assistant Robert Pack.
“I’m very fortunate to have two talented coaches added to my staff,” Brooks said, according to the Post. “I wish Sidney and Chad well. They were terrific the two years that we were together, but I’m excited to add Robert Pack and Ryan Richman.
