<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MINNEAPOLIS -- San Antonio Spurs assistant P.J. Carlesimo interviewed for the Minnesota Timberwolves coaching job during a break of the Western Conference finals. Taylor said he still has a few candidates he wants to interview before deciding on a successor to Kevin McHale. McHale, also the team's vice president of basketball operations, fired Flip Saunders in February and coached the team for the rest of the season. He is staying as an executive. Carlesimo has been a head coach at Portland and Golden State. If he were hired by Minnesota, Latrell Sprewell's contentious run in Minnesota almost surely would end. Sprewell played under Carlesimo at Golden State and choked Carlesimo during a practice in 1997, prompting a national debate on the conduct of athletes.</div> Source I dont think this would work for the Timberwolves, he is the wrong type of coach for them.
