Why was Eddie Jordan fired by the Washington Wizards on Monday, just two months after the team picked up his contract option for the 2009-10 season? That's easy: defense.
Jordan is regarded by most league insiders as a polished offensive coach. As an assistant, he was credited with developing the offense that helped the New Jersey Nets advance to back-to-back NBA Finals, beginning in '02. His schemes were brilliant: using the Princeton offense as a template, Jordan's plays were fluid and spread the metaphorical wealth evenly among stars such as Jason Kidd, Kerry Kittles, Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson.
