Last night, Randy Wittman, interim coach of the Washington Wizards, benched the execrable JaVale McGee and Nick Young for the second half of a game against Milwaukee. While I hope Wittman is only an interim coach, I have to give him props for the move.
“I’m done with young guys (as an excuse), Wittman added. “ If they don’t want to play the right way, young guys aren’t going to play. It does us no good. They’re not going to learn anything when they want to play the way they want to play. All they’re developing are bad habits.”

Even better, both players were benched for the start of tonight’s game against the Orlando Magic.
