Jordan Has Busy First Day As Coach of the Wizards
Steve Wyche, Washington Post Staff Writer
Eddie Jordan spent his first full day as head coach of the Washington Wizards yesterday by meeting a surplus of issues head-on.
First, he began putting together a coaching staff. He received permission to interview his former colleague with the New Jersey Nets, assistant coach Mike O'Koren, who likely will be Jordan's top assistant. That path was cleared yesterday when lead assistant Brian James was notified he would not be retained. Jordan's former coach at Rutgers,
Tom Young, who coached at American University, will probably join his staff as well.
