Andrew Munson had a Michael Malone moment Monday.
It was the first day of minicamp for the Nuggets’ Summer League team. Munson has worked closely with Malone for almost nine years, first as a video intern and now as Denver’s special assistant to the head coach. But Summer League is a time for aspiring coaches to get reps, too — not just burgeoning players. The Nuggets have handed Munson the head coach’s whistle for the next couple of weeks.
So he used it.
“He showed me a little Coach Mo-esque timeout,” Julian Strawther said.
Translation: a really angry timeout.
