Scott Layden has been around the block a time or two in the NBA. Was his hiring a good one for the Wolves?
On April 20th, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced the hiring of new head coach and president of basketball operations, Tom Thibodeau, as well as general manager, Scott Layden. The move to sign Thibodeau, who is widely recognized as the former head coach of the Chicago Bulls and the man who revolutionized the way defense is carried out in the NBA, was met with critical acclaim. The hiring of Layden, however, was met by many with indifference.
