why?

- I mean the chances of Minny making the playoffs are
slim & none....so you go to minny, LOSE, then NEVER get another
NBA job- it's simply bad buisness for any 1st time NBA coach
wait til the Detroit job opens- at least you'd have a chance there

just as long as he never puts the short shorts on again he can do what ever.

He deserves a shot in the league. I'm surprised Dumars went with Curry over Laimbeer. Laimbeer played for Detroit for 12 seaons, with 2 championships, and 4 all-star appearances. And he has 3 championships as the Shock coach. Curry's resume is weak in comparison.

Anything is better than what we've had in recent years. He would hopefully give the team the mental toughness they've lacked in recent years.

How fitting .... and ex- Sleestak actor ..... coaching a paif of slow moving low post players....

Exactly!! Any 1st time coach that takes on the Timberwolves had better negotiate for enough money to live on for the rest of his life, because his coaching career is over.

WNBA or NBA, that's why.

another non-story and non-team...

June 14, 2009  09:57 PM ET

Like the NBA needs one more jag off.

June 15, 2009  12:38 AM ET

WNBA would be a dream job. i mean, ya know, those locker rooms.

June 15, 2009  01:47 AM ET

Why is this even a story? Lame-beer played for the Pistons not the Celtics. Why would McHale help a Piston?

June 15, 2009  07:28 AM ET

Sota isn't going anywhere so why not give Bill Laimbeer a shot? A hardnosed coach like him will be beneficial to a young team like the Wolves.
