I have absolutely no idea who will be the next head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves because none of the candidates who have been interviewed make any sense. The big reason for this is that David Kahn goes only for the big names and clearly doesn't care if his hiring makes any basketball sense what so ever. I'll go through each candidate and tell you why they make no sense to me.
Don Nelson - All time winningest coach and plays up tempo style that Kahn craves. Too bad the guy is 71 years old and will be able to coach this team for a year or two. He also has a history of being terrible with young players. Thankfully this team is littered with them.
Bernie Bickerstaff - Proven to be a terrible coach. Has been a head coach for 13 seasons and has been mediocre in each. He is also very old, 71 to be exact. Maybe Rubio can wheel him along the sidelines while he yells at Beasley during games.
Larry Brown - Has been a terrible coach in his last two stops. Also extremely old at age 70. Has been terrible with young point guards. Good thing we don't have one coming next year... Hasn't been a good coach since 2004 when he was with the Pistons.
Terry Porter - Was fired in Phoenix because his team wasn't playing at a fast enough pace. Weird, I think Kahn wants the Wolves to play at a fast pace.
Sam Mitchell - Wasn't even on Kahn's original list. Clearly a courtesy throw in by Glen Taylor.
Mike Woodson - Defensive coach whose Hawk teams played at one of the slowest paces in the league. Probably won't be hired he is merely just a name.
Rick Adelman - Makes all the sense in the world. Proven winner whose ball movement would likely make sense for the Wolves and appease Kahn. He is not interested in this job and only interviewed for it by phone.
Pretty much I hate all of these candidates and wish Kahn would hire a young assistant and not a big name who will do terribly with this job.
