In what’s being described as a “mutual decision,” Kevin McHale will not be returning as coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He took over the position after Randy Wittman was fired.
McHale started his tenure as general manager by drafting Kevin Garnett straight out of high school. The pick led to eight straight playoff appearances for the T-Wolves, though the team didn’t advance past the first round until the final appearance in 2004, when Minnesota lost to the Lakers in six games.
While the Garnett pick was a great one, McHale failed to surround his superstar with the right mix of talent to make the T-Wolves a perennial contender. For a list of his bad moves, click here.
