Per a press release from the team, the Washington Wizards have restructured their coaching staff this offseason. Several members return from last year’s staff but the new hires all point to an increased emphasis on player development.
We previously reported on the hiring of David Vanterpool and Brian Keefe, as they will join returning coaches Joseph Blair, Mike Miller, Zach Guthrie, and James Posey. Vanterpool and Keefe have both been considered for NBA head coaching jobs in the past and represent an overall talent upgrade on the bench.
Landon Tatum, who was an assistant coach for the Capital City Go-Go last season and coached the Wizards’ Summer League team, will lead the player development staff.
