Timberwolves President Gersson Rosas is expanding the search for a head coach, but that doesn’t mean Rosas has eliminated interim coach Ryan Saunders from getting the job.
Rosas will interview two candidates – Miami assistant Juwan Howard and Portland assistant David Vanterpool – a source confirmed to the Star Tribune.
ESPN first repoted those two interviews. The New York Times also reported the Wolves will interview New Orleans associate head coach Chris Finch for their vacancy.
Even though Rosas is interviewing multiple people for the position, Saunders remains a strong candidate for the job.
Rosas will be in Chicago the next few days representing the Wolves at the draft lottery and combine, but a source said Rosas could make a decision on the head coaching position possibly by the end of the week or over the weekend.
