I’m on record (well…at least in my circle of friends) with not being happy with the Washington Wizards’ coaching “search” that led to the hiring of Scott Brooks this week. It seemed – and, I guess, was – totally telegraphed and earmarked for one guy and one guy only.
It translated to me as if, hypothetically, of course, the Wizards had the sixth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, and they knew, irrespective of context, who they were going to be selecting.
Additionally, watching his OKC teams and looking at his seemingly uncreative offense and his rotations and certain decisions led me to thinking that Brooks is a coach that on a macro level isn’t all that much different than Randy Wittman, just with muuuuch better talent.
