The Washington Wizards hired Brian Keefe as their coach Wednesday, sticking with the man who led the team on an interim basis from late January until the end of the season.

Keefe was in his first season as an assistant coach for the Wizards when he was promoted to interim head coach on Jan. 25, replacing Wes Unseld Jr.

Washington was 7-36 at the time of the change and went 8-31 the rest of the way.
