Ayers joins Wizards' staff
Washington hires ex-Sixers coach as an assistant
The Associated Press 2:30 PM EDT, July 24, 2007 Ayers fills the slot that opened when assistant coach Tom Young retired in June. Tom Thibodeau was hired as an assistant in early July, but he left the team just days later after having what Jordan called "a change of heart."
As an assistant to Larry Brown in Philadelphia, Ayers helped the 76ers reach the playoffs five times, including making the NBA finals in 2001. He went 21-31 as the team's head coach in 2003-04.
Ayers was Ohio State's head coach for eight years, and was The Associated Press Coach of the Year in 1991.
