A segment that didn't include KAT hate. Way to go boys!

It was around 2014, I went to a Wolves/Wizards game when Witt was the coach of Washington. A few hours before the game, I went to meet a Timberwolves dancer across the street at the Target Center to buy one of their calendars and she gave me a few tix to the game. On my way over, I passed Witt on the skyway. I was wearing some Wolves gear and he gave me a dirty look as I walked past him lol

When he came to Headflyer Brewery with Jon K, he looked like any other dude in the bar in jeans and a quarter zip. This is the type of person to get behind.

I'd go with Musselman. I had season tickets and went to all his games...competitive, over achieving, hard working fun to watch games that were usually close in score. Intense!

All due respect to flip finchy is better . Turned wolves from worst team in the league to a playoff team in less then 1 year now few years later 3 straight playoff appearances & now legit contenders

I love the topic. I wish the starting lineups would’ve been talked about more for each of the coaches. That way we’d get a better feel for who’s a better/worse coach vs. who did a better/worse coaching job with the players they had playing for ‘em. Or, perhaps even better banter possibilities: How would Bill Blair have done if he had KAT, Gobert, Conley and Ant on the team? How would McHale have done? Rambis? Musselman? And so on.

Of all the coaches that I disliked the most was Tom Tibs!

I agree with your list!

I know Kyle is on vacation but man it feels like he quit this show for Dane and never came back

Most likely, he took this franchise back to the WCF. The standard for this franchise has been always been bad or “loser mentality” , finally something to be proud of.

Flip Saunders the best

The sycophant attitude that these local journalists have toward Flip Saunders (and the Saunders family in general) never ceases to amaze me; I cannot think of a local coach or manager that was more overrated than Flip or less qualified than Ryan. Let's start with the nepotism angle (which Flip set up better than Mike Zimmer or Gary Kubiak could have ever dreamed); yes, Rambis, Rogers, Wittman, Lowe, and Blair were terrible, but almost all of them (with the possible exception of Wittman) took over awful teams. Ryan Saunders took over a team that was average to solid the last couple of years under Thibs and immediately it became one of the worst in the league which was inexcusable given the players that he had. Ryan Saunders is arguably the worst coach in the history of this team and that's saying something. In regards to Flip, decent coach at best (got out of the first round only once with a first ballot HOFer in MN and failed to ever reach the NBA Finals even when gifted a team that had made it the prior two years in Detroit; Rasheed Wallace has pointed out what a missed opportunity it was for the Pistons that Flip was the choice to replace Larry Brown) and other than drafting Zach Lavine, did nothing productive as a talent evaluator (in fact, his trading of Thaddeus Young for a cooked KG who probably would have been bought out anyway was completely illogical). Yet, Flip is treated by the local media (these two guys included) and ownership like he was Gregg Popovich, Larry Brown, and Phil Jackson rolled into one. This is a case of either the sports version of beer goggles given the horrible history of the team or maybe the journalists got a little bit too friendly with Flip during his time here. I do agree that had he lived, Flip would still either be coaching the team (or would have made his son a permanent head coach while he continued to manipulate his way into more power in the Timberwolves organization).

First!

I don't trust Judd doing this ranking.

Finch told fake mj, who's really inefficient, to shoot 30 times a game. Why you think yall lost to Mavs. 26 points on 25 shots with all the turnovers... Trash

Flip was an overrated coach and an absolute disaster in talent evaluation. He got the best player in Wolves history and still couldn't get him to the finals. Sam was better. Adelman would have been better and Finchey and Thibs were clearly better. Muss was the guy that should never have been fired.
