March Madness is gradually coming to an end, and the four college programs competing for the coveted NCAA title are set. Among them are the top favorites, the Duke Blue Devils, led by the spectacular Cooper Flagg, who will be playing his final games at the collegiate level.

The NBA is already eagerly awaiting Flagg. He is projected to be the first overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, and for now, the team most likely to land the Duke star is the Washington Wizards. The capital’s team is in the best position to select the NCAA standout.

The Wizards are considering Taylor Jenkins as their new Head Coach

In a move that surprised many, Taylor Jenkins was dismissed by the Memphis Grizzlies and is now expected to be one of the most sought-after coaches this offseason. Jenkins is the leading candidate for the Washington Wizards’ head coaching job, as the franchise aims to undergo a major transformation-with Cooper Flagg at the center of its rebuild.

Before his firing, Jenkins had a 54 percent winning percentage with the Grizzlies. He is known for his intensity, strong character, and, most importantly, his ability to develop young players.

Reports suggest that current Wizards coach Brian Keefe will not continue in his role, leaving the position open for Jenkins. This has sparked excitement among Wizards fans, as they anticipate a new coach and, more importantly, the potential arrival of Cooper Flagg.

The excitement of having Jenkins in Washington

Jenkins holds an NBA coaching record of 250-215. Notably, he successfully coached Ja Morant, a rising league star who could quickly become an option for the Wizards. A potential lineup featuring Morant and Flagg would be highly intriguing, especially if the team manages to retain Khris Middleton.

For now, Cooper Flagg and the Blue Devils are preparing for their game against the Houston Cougars in the Final Four.

Mike Norvell buyout: What it would cost Florida State to move on from struggling Seminoles football coach

Getty Images After a Week 1 win over Alabama, no one expected Florida State coach Mike Norvell to end up on the hot seat again in 2025, but three consecutive losses in ACC play to Virginia, Miami and Pittsburgh turned up the pressure once again on Norvell in Tallahassee, as frustrations continue to mount over back-to-back seasons of major ACC struggles. The loss to Pittsburgh dropped Norvell's record in Tallahassee to 36-30, as the Seminoles, now 3-3, have seen extremely high highs and tremendously low lows since he took over in 2020. The high point was the 2024 season when they went undefeated in the regular season and won the ACC Championship, only to controversially get left out of the College Football Playoff at 13-0. After that season, his second straight season with double-digit wins, Norvell was awarded a massive new contract extension that takes him […]
