A source has told the Pioneer Press that Glen Taylor and Kevin McHale of the Timberwolves recently flew to Grand Rapids, Mich., to interview Michigan State's Tom Izzo about the Wolves' coaching vacancy.

Izzo, who likely would cost the Wolves' $4 million a year, is expected to remain with the Spartans unless the Detroit Pistons job becomes available, which is becoming a possibility with the Larry Brown to Cleveland rumors that have been circulating.
