The Minnesota Timberwolves will target several elite coaches available on the market, but they haven't ruled out bringing back Sam Mitchell.

Jeff Van Gundy, Tom Thibodeau and Scott Brooks will also be targeted.

With the emergence of Karl-Anthony Towns, the Wolves' job will be one of the most attractive in the NBA.

Glen Taylor has engaged with a search firm to gauge the potential for giving a coach full autonomy and letting him build out the front office. Taylor has been intrigued by what Stan Van Gundy has done with the Detroit Pistons.

Mitchell has the support of Wolves veteran Kevin Garnett, whose endorsement does have impact with Taylor.
