Just Desserts


The Timberwolves fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on Sunday and ex-Bulls’ coach Fred Hoiberg is being mentioned as a possible replacement.  Thibodeau treated every game of the regular season like it was game seven of the NBA Finals; he also acted with all the grace of Bill Belichick, but none of the championships.  He won’t be missed, at least not here.

 

As for Hoiberg, hmm.  He wasn’t the right fit for a rebuild, even with his experience as a college coach having to handle young players.  The Timberwolves are young, but not baby-Bulls’ young.  And the Minnesota players may play hard for anyone not named Thibodeau, at least this season.  Stay tuned.
