The "diverse experience" of newly hired Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch is what intrigued president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas to make the move.
During Monday's introductory news conference, Rosas welcomed the former Toronto Raptors assistant to try to turn things around after firing Ryan Saunders following Sunday's loss in New York.
"The things that he's done coaching all around the world at different levels, those experiences, I think, are very relevant to our current game," Rosas said. "We play a very international game in the NBA and the experience that Chris has, the perspective that he has, the time that he's been a head coach outside of the NBA, an assistant in the NBA as well, I think those perspectives, those expertise are really important for our organization on both sides of the floor.
