Chris Finch was hired to coach the Timberwolves in a middle of a pandemic season. The person who hired him, President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas, was fired shortly before training camp started in September, and executive vice president Sachin Gupta took charge of the front office.

The Wolves start the 2021-22 season Wednesday night against Houston at Target Center. As he continued to sort through change, the 51-year-old Finch sat down last week in New York to talk about his vision for improving a team that has made the playoffs only once since 2004.
