"Wizards' Front Office Shake-Up: The Transition of Wes Unseld Jr. and the Promotion of Brian Keefe"

The Washington Wizards removed Wes Unseld Jr. as head coach due to the team's sustained struggles, lack of competitiveness, and defensive deficiencies, despite acknowledging his efforts and character. The decision was influenced by the front office's belief that Unseld should have coaxed more improvement and fight out of the inherently flawed roster. Lead assistant coach Brian Keefe has been elevated to the interim coaching role for the remainder of the season, with a focus on accountability and defensive improvement.
