Rick Brunson Resigns Amid Allegations, Headlines Multiple Staff Changes

Timberwolves Assistant Coach Rick Brunson has resigned effective immediately, according to a press release from the team.

Jon Krawzcynski from The Athletic reports:

Timberwolves assistant Rick Brunson, who resigned today, was facing allegations of improper interactions with several women while on the job, @TheAthleticMIN has learned. The Athletic has reached out to the Wolves and Brunson for comment.

This is hugely disappointing, and not the first time Brunson has been linked to improper behavior with women. I wrote about Brunson and other Wolves who were accused of either sexual or domestic assault on the occasion of the Derrick Rose signing.
