Jim Wooldridge

Jim Wooldridge, the newest member of the coaching staff, would have been in charge of the preparations for Washington. But instead of explaining how Mitch Richmond fits in with the Wizards, Wooldridge was sitting in his office talking to a reporter.

 

``We found out some time ago that there wasn't even going to be a month of November, as far as playing basketball,'' he said. ``So my day-to-day work has been pretty consistent. Quite frankly, I haven't given (Wednesday's game) much thought.''

 

But Wooldridge, who this time last year was preparing for the college season at Louisiana Tech, has given a lot of thought to experiencing life at the United Center first-hand.
It will happen, eventually.
``I'm like anybody else,'' Wooldridge said. ``You just have to admire what these people have accomplished here. At some point in time, I'm going to get to experience it. Like anybody else, I'm looking forward to it.''
