"Flip Saunders has agreed to become the new coach of the Washington Wizards, with an announcement expected next week, according to an NBA executive. Owner Abe Pollin has approved the hiring of Saunders, the choice of president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld to succeed interim coach Ed Tapscott, the executive told the Associated Press (Sportsline)."
I like this hiring a lot, but I still go back to the resigning of Arenas as the reason this team sucks so bad. He is a selfish player that is completely overrated, and injury prone. They have some decent "core guys", but overall they lack defensive presence, and any kind of real leadership. Flip should be able to help with some of that, and the veteran guys should respond well to a coach that has a career record of 587-396.
