Surf Side Beach 1/25/2012 5:03:25 AM

The Washington wizards coach Flip Saunders was fired this Tuesday.  He is being replaced by assistant Randy Wittman.  Wittman will be holding the role for the remainder of the season. 

The Wizards have suffered a dismal season by falling 2-15 which includes 0-7 on the road and a 20 point loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.  The team will be playing against the Charlotte Bobcats this Wednesday. 

Wizards president Ernie  Grunfeld said in a statement released by the team, “We felt the team had become unresponsive, and we will look to Randy to provide a different voice and a change in philosophy moving forward.”  Grunfeld continued to say, “We have been transparent in how we would evaluate our team this season and we were disappointed in the lack of development of our players at this point our rebuilding plan.”

This season was Saunder’s third with the Wizards.  His starting roster featured Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison, and Caron Butler.  The franchise is now rebuilding around John Wall.  The Wizards will be Wittman’s third job as an NBA head coach.
