"Randy Wittman is 2-3 since taking over as coach of the Wizards, and even though the wins were against the woeful Charlotte Bobcats, there's no question that Washington is playing better under his watch.

The players are competing harder, displaying more energy and seem to have a better understanding of what their roles are and what's expected of them.

Wittman has simplified the playbook and asked the team to run on offense and play full-court pressure defense. He also rarely answers questions about the team's opponents; for him, it's all about the Wizards."
