'Tom Thibodeau for a hot second was the defensive coordinator for the Washington Wizards. When I was there, he was defensive coordinator, for one day.' In an effort to give the Wizards' defense a boost, president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld pegged Thibodeau as an assistant coach to turn Washington's defense around heading into the.

WASHINGTON -- Washington Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard said coach Scott Brooks will be back in 2020-21, the last season in his five-year contract.

'He's a decorated coach. He's been in the league a long time as a player and as a coach. Very accomplished guy,' Sheppard said Wednesday on a video conference call with reporters. 'And I think we're in great hands next season.'

Washington went 25-47 this season -- going 1-7 in the NBA restart -- and missed the playoffs for the second time in a row, after getting there in each of Brooks' first two years.

The Wizards played all of this season without All-Star point guard John Wall, who tore his Achilles tendon, and were missing their other All-Star, shooting guard Bradley Beal, for the restart because of a shoulder issue.

Both should be fine for the start of next season, whenever that might be. The timing is uncertain because of the coronavirus pandemic and the delayed finish to the current season.

'Assuming that the season were to start, even in October, both John and Bradley would be ready to go in a normal preseason,' Sheppard said. 'I feel strongly when the first day of training camp starts, we will have -- knock on wood, barring anything between now and then -- John and Bradley ... at full health, ready to go.'

'He's been a priority,' Sheppard said. 'I told him that.'

The Wizards are trying to win now. But they’re just 3-8. Washington coach Scott Brooks is in the final year of his contract.

Do the math.

Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer:

League sources say Brooks is sitting firmly on the hot seat.

The Wizards’ on-court problems extend far beyond Brooks. Russell Westbrook has struggled through injury and is now sidelined. Thomas Bryant is out for the year.

But it’s also tough to build an affirmative case for keeping Brooks, either. Washington’s defense has remained dismal on his watch. The Wizards haven’t found quality chemistry this season.

Fairly or not, coaches often take the fall in situations like this. Bradley Beal‘s status only increases pressure on Washington – and, therefore, Brooks.

For now, the Wizards’ coronavirus outbreak takes priority. But as has been shown across all sports, this pandemic isn’t stopping the coaching carousel.
