The Timberwolves have plotted part of their future by reaching into their past, reaching agreement with former Wolves player and current scout Scott Roth to coach the franchise's new Iowa team in the G League.
A member on the Wolves' inaugural 1989-90 expansion team, Roth is a career coach out of the same Bill Musselman coaching tree that produced Wolves head coach and president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau, who hired him.
Roth has spent 11 seasons on NBA benches with Dallas, Vancouver/Memphis. Golden State, Toronto and Detroit. He has also coached and consulted for the Turkish, Dominican Republic, Canadian and Chinese national teams.
