Minnesota Timberwolve's owner Glen Taylor and president of basketball operations David Kahn will be interviewing Bernie Bickerstaff today. When it was first rumored that Kurt Rambis was going to be fired, Bernie Bickerstaff was the first person who was mentioned as a possible replacement for Rambis. In fact, it was rumored that Kahn even reached out to Bickerstaff in early June to join the Wolves. The idea here was that Bickerstaff would groom his son, J.B. Bickerstaff, while coaching the team for the next couple of years. Houston really shot this plan down when they hired J.B. Bickerstaff to become a part of their staff. Bickerstaff is still interviewing the job today, regardless of his son.
This would be an absolutely terrible hire for the Wolves. I don't ever even want J.B. Bickerstaff ever coaching this team. This guy has enough experience as a head coach that we just know that he is terrible. First of all, he is 67. He is 415-517 in 13 seasons. This isn't a small sample size of a guy who has had some unlucky breaks. There is very clear evidence that he is not a successful NBA coach. Thankfully, there is a report that former Sacramento Kings head coach Rick Adelman will interview with the team on Saturday. Adelman led the Sacramento Kings to the Western Conference Finals in 2002.
