Doc Rivers #8?

Terrible GM as well.

Dude traded for his son. (This right here should be a fireable offense).

And traded Bledsoe for Jared Dudley.

Love how the Wizards are consistently ranked in the 20's in these type of polls...yet there are people who still defend this FO/staff.

26 isn't correct or fair.





It's way too high.

I think Wittman is better than Flip Saunders and Scott Brooks. I'd move him up a couple of spots. Not that it matters much. Basically, all the coaches in the bottom 10 are pretty bad and should be fired.

That's pretty fair, I think. The last 6 can be shuffled around on any given day. Basically, they're the worst...and we got one of them. Whee!!!

I'd like to see a listing of top 20 assistant coaches.

As simple as Scott Brooks is, he no where near as bad as randy. So he should not be ranked below someone as incompetent as randy. Sure should Brooks be a HC no, be he should be a HC more than Randy. Personally this season I'd say flip has been better than Wittman. I don't think you should count the interim HC's, cuz they are interim. So Randy is one of the 3 worst HC's in the league! Goes to show how good Wall is, winning in spite of Wittman.

Return to Washington Wizards
