One week has passed since the Minnesota Timberwolves fired former head coach Ryan Saunders and replaced him with Chris Finch.
The process and the move itself were unconventional for a number of reasons. Firing Saunders one game into a four-game road trip and in the midst of a stretch during which the Wolves were actually showing a few more signs of life was strange, even if Gersson Rosas and the Timberwolves’ front office would have gone the usual route and hired an interim head coach from Saunders’ staff.
