Wizards Remove Interim Tag From Brian Keefe
7 months agoThe Washington Wizards have hired Brian Keefe full-time as head coach. The 48-year-old from Winchester, Massachusetts, finished last season as the team's interim head coach, going 8-31 after Wes Unseld Jr. managed a 7-36 record. Keefe had previously worked as Unseld Jr.'s assistant in Washington following similar stints with the Nets, Thunder, Lakers, and Knicks. It's his first job as a head coach in the NBA. While Washington's results didn't improve much under Keefe, the team held opponents to the second-lowest three-point shooting percentage (34.5%) in the league after he took over. He is seen as a skilled player developer and appears to be a good fit for a rebuilding ball club that finished with a franchise-record 67 losses in 2023-24.
