    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">When Kevin McHale coached the Wolves over the final two months of 2004-05, he made it clear he would be returning to the executive suite as vice president of basketball operations when that season ended.

    With Randy Wittman taking over for the final three months this season, it seems clear that, barring a meltdown or tabloid-worthy incident, he will be back next fall. He has a three-year contract, although only this season's salary has been adjusted for head coaching duties. And it's pretty obvious that Wittman -- given his rapport with McHale and owner Glen Taylor -- never would have returned from Orlando if he was only going to be an interim guy in the top job.

    <font size=""4"">As Kevin Garnett said: "If you're going to make a coach change, why make it, then keep changing? I don't think Witt would take the job if he wasn't expecting to be back here."</font>

    None of which matters to Wittman right now, by the way.

    "Security takes care of itself," he said. "If you're going to coach or work on what you're worried is going to happen tomorrow, you're not going to be very good. If I had a 10-year contract, I'd be doing the same thing as if I had a one-month contract."</div>
