“Source are telling me that there’s already been some cursory contact between – either backchannels or whatever – between the Wolves and Thibodeau.”
Before the 2015-2016 season started, Minnesota’s head coach and team president Flip Saunders stepped down due to lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system. On October 25, 2015, Saunders died from the cancer. Sam Mitchell was then named the interim head coach for the rest of the season.
