Tom Thibodeau and Scott Layden were introduced Tuesday afternoon as the team’s new basketball operations leadership group.
The Timberwolves introduced Tom Thibodeau as president of basketball operations and coach, along with Scott Layden—who will take over as general manager — on the Target Center main floor in front of assembled media, team employees, and season ticket holders Tuesday afternoon.
Even part of the young core that attracted Thibodeau back to Minneapolis, where he got his first NBA gig as an assistant coach under Bill Musselman in 1989, sat in the first row just as eager as the next person to get their first glimpse of the new leaders.
