Timberwolves rehire 49ers' Ethan Casson as CEO
Less than a month after Rob Moor stepped down from his position as Timberwolves CEO, the team has filled the position with San Francisco 49ers executive Ethan Casson, a former Wolves vice president.
Wolves owner Glen Taylor, speaking on WCCO radio Sunday morning, said Casson, currently the 49ers chief operating officer, would replace Moor, who stepped down from the position June 17. Taylor said the announcement would come Monday.
In Casson, the Wolves get a person who is familiar with both the Wolves and the Twin Cities, having served a previous stint from 1999 through 2010 with the Wolves, rising to the level of senior vice president.
