Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has named Randy Wittman and Sam Cassell as assistant coaches on the staff of Head Coach Flip Saunders. Per team policy, terms of the contracts were not released. "Randy and Sam will be excellent additions to our coaching staff, and both will be instrumental in helping us achieve our goals,” said Saunders. “Randy brings a wealth of experience as a former head coach of two different teams and is very familiar with my system. I always regarded Sam as a coach on the floor during his playing days, and he brings instant credibility as a three-time NBA champion and a proven winner.”


Good for Sam. Smart of Flip to bring Sam back from their good year in Minnesota together.

Congrats to Sam for it finally being official. I would have loved to have seen Sam sitting on our bench this upcoming season, but I'm glad that he was offered a job so quickly.
