Glen Taylor graduated from Comfrey High School in 1959. Six decades later, he was introducing a new leader of his Timberwolves basketball operation for the fifth time at Target Center.
First, there was Kevin McHale in 1995, followed by David Kahn in 2009, Flip Saunders in 2013, Tom Thibodeau in 2016 and, on Monday, Gersson Rosas, 40, and hired from the Houston organization.
Taylor used “teamwork,’’ “hard worker,’’ “experienced,’’ “integrity’’ and “flexibility’’ as qualities he was looking for in a new president of basketball operations, and qualities that he found in meeting with Rosas.
These were words and phrases that would have been approved by Margaret Mett, the outstanding English teacher during Taylor’s time at Comfrey High School.
