Brian Keefe is now the man in charge in Washington for the Wizards. He has been a man in the shadows all season long who has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Wes Unseld Jr is now upstairs in the front office watching from afar. Now, they keys have been given to Brian Keefe. While the results are still the same as a team, that may be bound to change with the recent move he just done to the team.

Bilal Coulibaly has been a core piece to the puzzle for the Washington Wizards this season. He is so young and so raw within his game offensively. No matter the case, Bilal is a player who puts the team first and leans upon his defensive skills to help this team win basketball games. His defensive game is well polished already at age 19. He has room to grow offensively. However, that will work itself out because he is a capable scorer.

To be successful in life, one has to be willing to make decisions no one else is willing to do. To be successful in life, one has to be determined to do what is necessary for the betterment of all parties involved. Starting a rookie isn’t the easiest choice or decision. Benching your highest paid player and better scorers isn’t either. Interim Head Coach Brian Keefe did both at one time.

Within any company or job, there is bound to be both good and bad moments. When those bad moments arise, you have to be willing to make the needed changes to fix the problems. Those times come with both risk and rewards. If you continue to stand pat and not do anything at all when things are going bad, there’s a really good chance you will be relieved of your duty and assignment.

Meanwhile, when one does decide to do something to try to fix problems, it can either work or not work. The point is at the end of the day, at least you can say you tried to do something and you did your best and gave it your all in the end. Brian Keefe is showing signs of passion. He is also showing signs that he is understanding existing problems and looking for solutions to solve them. Brian Keefe is proving to be the guy that belongs to lead this Washington Wizards team moving forward.
