MINNEAPOLIS –It was the late Flip Saunders who gave Sam Cassell his first chance at coaching with the Timberwolves.
It was there where Cassell learned when it meant to be in rebuilding mode.
“Those are the things we’d always talk about,” Cassell said. “Last time I came here last year, we talked about that, just the process. People don’t want to deal with the process, they just want to win right away, but no one wanted to deal with the process.”
But it wasn’t patience Cassell learned the most from Saunders; that was something he was forced to have given the circumstances.
