Geoff Burke / USA TODAY Sports

Randy Wittman can go from zero to 100 real quick.

The Washington Wizards head coach was not pleased by a report by the Washington Post's Michael Lee that injured point guard John Wall "clashed" with Wizards medical staff over their initial diagnosis of his broken hand and wrist as a "really bad sprain."

When brought to Wittman, the coach called Lee out straight.

"What was reported today by Michael Lee was a flat-out lie," Wittman proclaimed.

"That is unfair to this kid (Wall)," Wittman explained. "That is so far from the truth (that) I've got to say something. Your inside source obviously isn't on the inside."

Wittman was totally over it by the end of his statement and screamed "NEXT QUESTION" at a reporter several times. Even though he brought it up.
