The Washington Wizards parted company with coach Randy Wittman on Thursday, a day after the team wrapped up a disappointing campaign with victory over the Atlanta Hawks. "There were high internal and external expectations for this team coming into this season based on the momentum we had generated over the previous two years," said Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld. Wittman was promoted to head coach in January 2012, and finished his tenure with a losing 178-199 record.
