When Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard talked about the future of head coach Scott Brooks in an interview today, he did not make it clear, saying only that the Wizards made this decision through a period of consideration.
"We're not going to do anything today. Obviously, we're going to do a thorough assessment of the whole team from top to bottom so that we can do better. But with regard to this aspect, I will not discuss it today. ”
The Wizards were eliminated 4-1 after yesterday's 112-129 loss to the 76ers, and Brooks also ended the final season of his current contract. The 55-year-old coach led the team to three playoff games during his five years at the hands of the Wizards, but the regular season record was only 183 wins and 207 losses (46.9 percent).
Brooks himself said of the future in Washington: "It's not a decision I can make, I love it here, I love these players, I know we have a lot of work to do. We're building something we're proud of, and I'm willing to be part of that process. “
