(Wizards coach Randy) Wittman doesn’t know if the Wizards plan to bring him back and the organization hasn’t offered a hint about when a decision will be made.

His no-nonsense style connected with the players and they responded by playing hard until the end, winning their final six games. Wittman went 18-31 as the coach of the franchise that drafted him in 1983 and several of his players mentioned that they would like to see him return.

“I like Coach Wittman as a coach. It would be nice to have him back,” John Wall said. “I think we respected him because when he was an assistant coach we respected him then.

“I fully endorse Randy,” veteran Maurice Evans said. “I think that he did a really good job.

“I really like this coach, because he gives me my opportunity,” Seraphin said. “I like Witt, after Flip go, I had a meeting with him. He was like, ‘Now you will get your opportunity, you will play. So now you have to get it.’ I really like this coach, he give me confidence and everything.”
