Unseld’s contract with Washington runs through the 2024-25 season.
The franchise typically remains patient with its coaches. Since the 2003-04 season, Flip Saunders has been the only Wizards coach not on an interim tag whose tenure lasted fewer than three full seasons.
Eddie Jordan’s tenure lasted five full seasons and a fraction of a sixth. Randy Wittman coached four full seasons after team officials removed his interim label. Brooks spent five seasons in the job.
In November 2021, Monumental Sports & Entertainment principal owner and CEO Ted Leonsis promoted Sheppard and extended Sheppard’s contract through the 2024-25 season, with a team option for 2025-26.
