The Washington Wizards have officially announced the appointment of Brian Keefe as their head coach. Keefe, who took over as interim head coach in late January and guided the team through the end of the season, has now been given the permanent role.
Keefe, who was initially an assistant coach for the Wizards, stepped into the interim head coach position on Jan. 25, replacing Wes Unseld Jr. The team was struggling with a 7-36 record at the time of the coaching change and finished the season with a record of 8-31 under Keefe's leadership.
