On Tuesday, the NBA named Scott Brooks the Eastern Conference’s coach of the month for leading Washington to a 12-5 record in April. Not even a full 24 hours later, the Wizards’ coach popped up in rumors that he was on the hot seat.
That’s the life of a coach in a nutshell.
“Those things, I don’t really pay much attention to,” Brooks said. “Either one.”
In the short term, Brooks has more to focus on than his job status with only six games left after Wednesday’s contest in Milwaukee. The Wizards, after all, want to keep their momentum to make the play-in tournament and earn a playoff berth.
