RUMOR - Timberwolves Coaching Search

[Tirion]

So if Jackson ends up being the guy, who'll be on his staff? Some possibilities:

-Patrick Ewing: Former teammate, would help mentor Al Jefferson. (IMO a perfect fit as assistant)

What? Big Al's post game >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ewing's post game. Jefferson should mentor Ewing, not vice versa. Look at the progress Howard has made under Patrick's tutelage after three years. He developed a running hook, which he misses more often than not. Yay!

No one said anything about anyone's post game. I was talking about on the defensive side of the ball.

The word in NBA circles is that Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis will be the next Timberwolves coach and Mychal Thompson, the former Gophers star and Lakers teammate of Rambis' who now is a radio broadcaster for the Lakers, has made a strong recommendation. "I talked to David [Kahn] personally and told him you have to go after a guy like Rambis who knows what it takes to win in this league," Thompson said. Minneapolis Star-Tribune

It's Sid reporting.

i believe Rambis would not be a good fit here. the triangle offense is an offense of quick decision making. it just doesn't make sense with guys like Al and Flynn, who like to break their man down and diagnose each move like a surgeon. I think we're making a mistake if Turner is not hired, being an understudy of Adleman, one of the great baskeball minds out there. he's also known for his defensive schemes.

do we know that Rambis would employ the triangle offense?

[GopherIt!]

I don't know 4ho, it looks to me like he prefers rectangles over triangles.
