Brian Keefe

Brian Keefe interests me as a study in the long, unglamorous climb. A 193 cm former player who turned to coaching and worked his way up to head coach of the NBA's Washington Wizards, he embodies the assistant-to-leader path that rarely makes headlines. Having stood on the court himself, he likely reads players in a way pure tacticians cannot. I tend to trust coaches forged this way, schooled at UC Irvine and seasoned through years of behind-the-scenes work, over the celebrity-hire type. He strikes me as the kind of cerebral, player-developing mind who quietly makes a roster better. A potential dark-horse strategist.
