I suppose Wittman's coaching isn't great- but I would say the Wizards have struggled moreso because of EG's selection of players, the Wizards not coming into shape this season, the lack of development by Beal/Porter, and injuries....
Different issues: perhaps the current roster would do better w/ another coach. I doubt it, but there's no reason not to replace Wittman anyway and find out. He's no great shakes.
But, even if that's true -- it's the roster itself that's the problem. And, yeah, that's on his Ernieness. I don't think injuries have had all that much of an effect, given that we haven't been better to speak of w/ Beal than without him.
But, your remark about Porter seems way, way off. He's had a terrific season; he's developing very quickly and he's developing into a very good player!
Wall, Gortat, Porter and Sessions have had good seasons. Dudley has been pretty good. PF play has been just awful, both before and with Morris. Nene has played 800+ minutes, to no one's surprise. Shooting guard play has been bad as well.
