Minnesota Timberwolves: Grading Ryan Saunders' first season as head coach
Ryan Saunders had an up-and-down year following his promotion to full-time head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have had their fair share of head coaches over the last decade.
Since 2010, the Wolves have had six head coaches. Throughout franchise history, Flip Saunders was the team's longest-tenured coach, leading the team from 1995 to 2005. Rick Adelman is second on that list, just barely ahead of Tom Thibodeau.
Finding a long-term head coach is important, and is no doubt a large reason the team is short of finding success. Constant shakeups are hard on players when the goal and playing style seemingly changes after each season.
