Introducing New Wizards Assistant Coach Don Newman

Last week the Washington Wizards named Don Newman as an assistant coach. I am sure most of you are thinking, who is Don Newman? That's what you have me for.

Don Newman has 20 years of coaching experience. He also spent the past 7 seasons in San Antonio. If you do the math, you realize that Newman has 2 rings from his time with the Spurs. If you know anything about the Spurs system, you realize that they get a bunch of no names to produce next to Duncan. So it seems like a good move to add someone from a winning organization to a team that has had problems with that as of late. The Spurs are also one of the classiest organizations in sports and Newman should help bring some more class to Washington.

Newman managed to help the Spurs win 50 or more games in each of his 7 seasons with the team. Can you remember the last time the Wizards won 50 games? It sure has been a while. He helped the Spurs to the top record in the West last year. Have the Wizards had a top record in my lifetime? No! I am excited to have Newman on board and I am not the only one.

“Don is an outstanding coach and a great addition to our staff. He brings championship experience from his time with the Spurs and has been very successful in every stop of his career.” - Randy Wittman

Welcome aboard Coach Newman. This is a great low profile move.
