In October, T-Wolves Gaming named Shawn Vilvens the General Manager & Head Coach. Vilvens most recently served as a Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach at Cincinnati Christian University while also consulting for the school’s new ESports Program, focusing on NBA 2K Talent Scouting and Coaching. Our Kyle Ratke was recently able to have a conversation with Vilvens.
Ratke: First off, what does it mean for you to be named the coach and the GM of the Wolves 2K team? It’s certainly a new thing around the league, especially for the Timberwolves organization.
Vilvens: For me, it’s a one in a 100 lifetimes opportunity.
