The Timberwolves will fill their head coaching position in the next 7-10 days, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
New president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas has talked extensively with interim coach Ryan Saunders over the past three days but Rosas will continue to mull his options, according to Hine.
Their discussions have included the roster, style of play and player development. Rosas vowed to “question the norm” after getting named to the post.
Saunders might be a good fit with Rosas since he’s a firm believer in analytics. There are no other known candidates at this point.
The perception around the league after the season was that Saunders would have the interim tag removed. That hasn’t changed since Rosas took over, Hine continues.
After Saunders replaced Tom Thibodeau, the Wolves went 17-25 but Saunders forged strong relationships with top players Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. GM Scott Layden’s future with the team remains unknown, Hine adds.
Keep Saunders and replace Layden.
Rosas just returned from a visit to a famous bar in Boston where he found and questioned “NORM” !!
OOPS, my mistake…
I thought it said,
“Timberwolves To Choose Couch In 7-10 Days”
Thought Rosas was redecorating his new office….
There ARE priorities…
Can they at least get Andrew Wiggins mom to be asst. coach? She’s a star athlete maybe she can get him to look like one!
Can we at least get wiggins mom in the fold? She’s a star athlete maybe she could get him to be one finally.
