For those not up on all things Randy
College
6'6" Wittman played college basketball at Indiana University, winning an NCAA championship playing for Bobby Knight in 1981, and was the Big Ten Player of the Year in 1983. He became a member of the university's Hall of Fame and was named to Indiana’s Silver Anniversary Basketball Team, in March 1996.
Professionals
Wittman was selected by the Washington Bullets with the 22nd pick of the 1983 NBA Draft. However, he never played for the Bullets, his rights being traded to the Atlanta Hawks.
Wittman spent the early portion of his career with the Hawks, sharing backcourt with Glenn "Doc" Rivers and Anthony "Spud" Webb, and starting most of the games from 1985-88 (while averaging 12 points and 3.5 assists in those years combined).
After a small spell with the Sacramento Kings, he became a fringe player with the Indiana Pacers, retiring in 1991-92 after three unassuming years. For his career, Wittman averaged 7.4 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting just over 50% from the field.

Interesting to hear Randy say he is the polar opposite of Flip.
Message
- He would have walked if he didn't think they weren't better then they have played
- You will earn your minutes.
- Time to separate work and play. That has been mixed together to much.
- Mistakes will be tolerated but not half rss mistakes because of lack of effort
- Tempo will be increased but not running wild. Advance the ball to half court quickly.
- You'll be on the floor if you are playing the right way. If not, back to the bench for some rest.
- You will earn your minutes.
- They are focused on getting Wall to play the right way because if he does, other will follow.
- Simplify things. No time for information overload. Focus on 2-3 things.
- EG.. accumulated young talent that could get packaged in a trade later. They have caps space.
Who should be the next head coach thread
