Jerry Zgoda wrote a list today of all the possible candidates for the Minnesota Timberwolves head coaching position. Here's the list:
Rick Adelman - Has his teams play with the free moving ball movement that Kahn desires and is a proven winner. Kevin Love might even sign an extension if Adelman is hired as Love and Adelman's son played high school basketball together.
Don Nelson - Has his teams play the up tempo style that Kahn craves and has the most wins in NBA history. Is reportedly interested in the job and intrigued by Rubio and Love.
Dave Joerger - Coached Memphis's much improved defense last season and almost got the top assistant job for Kevin McHale.
Bryan Gates - Worked with Kahn in the D League and is an assistant for New Orleans
Sam Mitchell - Has ties to the franchise as a former player.
Larry Brown - Coached NBA championship team in 2003-2004 Pistons
Mike Fratello - Former Grizzlies coach and has connections with Kahn.
Lorenzo Romar - Known for his up tempo style of play at the University of Washington.
My suggestion? Lawrence Frank. He was an excellent coach at New Jersey until they depleted his roster. Also, he has been the defensive coordinator for the Boston Celtics defense which was one of the best defenses in the league even after trading center Kendrick Perkins. He also probably picked up a ton of experience last season while working under Doc Rivers.
