Wizards lead assistant coach David Vanterpool is transitioning to a position in the team’s front office, according to Josh Robbins of The Athletic (Twitter links), who reports that Adam Caporn will be Washington’s new top assistant.

Vanterpool has been with the Wizards since 2023 and has been the lead assistant under head coach Brian Keefe for the past two-and-a-half seasons. The 53-year-old, who has interviewed for several head coaching vacancies over the years, had previous assistant coaching jobs with Portland, Minnesota and Brooklyn.

Vanterpool, who also played and coached overseas, was the Thunder’s director of player personnel from 2010-12 and was considered a potential future general manager before he switched back to coaching, Adrian Wojnarowski reported for Yahoo Sports in 2013.

As Robbins notes, Caporn was already an assistant on Brian Keefe‘s staff. The 44-year-old Australian is also the head coach of the Boomers, Australia’s men’s national team.

Caporn got his NBA start as head coach of the Long Island Nets in 2021/22 and spent the following two seasons as an assistant in Brooklyn. He has been an assistant with the Wizards since 2024.

Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Saturday that Patrick Ewing is joining Washington’s coaching staff as an assistant, while Steve Clifford will be a coaching advisor.
