Eddie Jordan fired after poor start

Eddie Jordan was fired as coach of the Washington Wizards on Monday after opening the season 1-10 without injured starters Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood.

The Wizards' record matches the worst start in franchise history; the only other time the team was 1-10 was in 1966, when it was called the Baltimore Bullets.

The final straw for Jordan appears to have been a 122-117 loss Saturday night to the undermanned New York Knicks, who had only seven players available.

Ed Tapscott, the Wizards' director of player development, will replace Jordan on an interim basis, running his first practice as the team's new head coach Monday morning, a team spokesman told The Associated Press.



I don't really like this decision personally because they don't have Arenas and Haywood at the moment so it would be pretty hard to rack up wins without 2 starters. They pretty much are relying on Nick Young and McGee to fill in the positions straight away, which is like impossible.

1-11 is not a SSS to be honest. Especially when he hasn't done anything for 2 seasons.
