Longtime NBA assistant coach David Vanterpool is moving from his role as the Washington Wizards’ lead assistant coach under Brian Keefe to a front-office position with the franchise, a team source told The Athletic. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because Vanterpool’s move to the front office has not been formally announced.

Vanterpool, 53, joined the Wizards coaching staff before the start of the 2023-24 season. His 13-year tenure as an NBA assistant coach also includes prior stops with the Portland Trail Blazers, where he worked closely with Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum; a two-year stint as the Minnesota Timberwolves’ associate head coach; and one season with the Brooklyn Nets.

Vanterpool was a pro scout for the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2010-12, working alongside Keefe, who was a Thunder assistant coach; Wizards general manager Will Dawkins, who was the Thunder’s scouting coordinator; and Monumental Basketball president Michael Winger, who was the Thunder’s assistant general manager and team counsel.

Adam Caporn, 44, will become Keefe’s lead assistant coach, the team source confirmed. Caporn joined Keefe’s coaching staff before the 2024-25 season, and he also serves as the head coach of Australia’s men’s national team.

Former Georgetown Hoyas and New York Knicks great Patrick Ewing is on track to join Keefe’s staff as an assistant coach. Ewing, 63, brings extensive experience as an NBA assistant coach and also worked as the Hoyas’ head coach for six seasons.

Steve Clifford, 64, will also join the Wizards as a coaching consultant, the team source said.

Clifford’s NBA head-coaching experience includes two stints with the Charlotte Hornets, who were known as the Charlotte Bobcats during Clifford’s first season at the helm, and one stint with the Orlando Magic.

Clifford spent last season as a coaching consultant for the Phoenix Suns and worked as a coaching consultant for the Nets during the 2021-22 season. With Brooklyn, Clifford got to know and work with Keefe, who was a Nets assistant coach at the time, and Caporn, who coached the Nets’ G League affiliate.
