WASHINGTON (AP) -His work as an interim coach complete, Ed Tapscott will remain in the Washington Wizards organization.
Team president Ernie Grunfeld announced Friday that Tapscott will stay with the Wizards in a role yet to be determined.
Tapscott was Washington’s director of player development before Grunfeld fired coach Eddie Jordan after a 1-10 start. Tapscott had not been a head coach since 1990 and had never coached in the NBA, but was put on the bench and went 18-53.
The combined 19-63 record matched the worst over an 82-game season in franchise history.
Former Minnesota and Detroit coach Flip Saunders has agreed to become the Wizards’ new coach, an NBA executive told The Associated Press earlier this week. The executive spoke on condition of anonymity because the team wasn’t prepared to make a formal announcement.
