Flip Saunders passed away on Sunday at the age of 60. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma earlier in the summer and the surrounding complications accelerated the cancer suddenly and unexpectedly. Saunders will be remembered most for successful head coaching stops with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons, but he also was an integral part of the transition from the Washington Wizards of the Gilbert Arenas era to the current version now being led by John Wall. From Flip’s first days at the helm of the Wizards, Truth About It.net was there to chronicle his tenure and the tumult that surrounded his time with the team.
