Randy Scott Wittman (born October 28, 1959) is currently the interim head coach for the National Basketball Association's Washington Wizards. He is also a retired American basketball player at the guard position and former coach of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
6'6" Wittman played college basketball from 1979–1983 for Bob Knight and the Indiana University Hoosiers. The 1979-80 Hoosiers, led by Isiah Thomas, won the Big Ten championship and advanced to the 1980 Sweet Sixteen. The following season, in 1980-81, the Hoosiers once again won a conference title and won the 1981 NCAA tournament, the school's fourth national title. In 1982–1983, with the leadership of Wittman, the No. 1 ranked Hoosiers were favorites to win another national championship. However with an injury to star player Ted Kitchel mid-season, the Hoosiers' prospects were grim. Knight asked for fan support to rally around the team and, despite long odds, the team ultimately won the Big Ten title. Nevertheless in the tournament Kitchel's absence was felt and the team lost to Kentucky in the 1983 Sweet Sixteen. Wittman was named the Big Ten Player of the Year and a consensus second team All-American in 1983. He became a member of Indiana's Hall of Fame and was named to Indiana's Silver Anniversary Basketball Team, in March 1996.
A who dat a knock so early, sir?

Woy, what a pressure
Landlord a pressure tenants
Woy, what a pressure
Landlord a pressure tenant
Everywhere you can turn in town
You hear people saying house rent too high
Yes, everywhere you can turn in town
The poor people crying house rent too high
Your rent one this month for fifty dollars
You live there two months it raise to sixty dollars
If you have any children, you can't get it
No matter what the price, you have to gladly take it
Every three weeks the rent man come
With him bodyguard and him big, long gun
You can't tell him, ?Seh, you no have it?
Anyway deh you have to try to find it
Or else him coming back with the bailiff man
Coming in a van with two police men
And one thing you must understand
If you even get drop him you not get no wrong
Woy, what a pressure
Landlord, a pressure tenant
Woy, woy, woy, what a pressure, hey
Landlord, dem a pressure tenants
My landlord is a cruel man
A man that no one can understand
Every time the rent near fe due
That is the time when my landlord screw
And when him collect, him smile again
That's the only time me and him are friend
But that friendship only lasts for three weeks
'Cause three weeks time the rent drew again
Woy, what a pressure, hey
Landlord, dem a pressure tenants
Woy, woy, woy, what a pressure
Landlord, a pressure tenants
