Kevin McHale has stressed that he will not be the long-term answer as head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and other than the pipe dream of Phil Jackson being thrown out, Eric Musselman appears to be a leading candidate.

Musselman helped turnaround the Warriors, nearly taking them to the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

Musselman was an assistant in Minnesota under his father Bill Musselman.
