Kevin McHale has made it clear Randy Wittman will return as head coach of the Timberwolves next season. Owner Glen Taylor previously had pledged his support of the coach.
And Wittman has the endorsement of Wolves superstar Kevin Garnett.
"I think Randy's done a real good job, you know, dealing with the head cases and the things that we have on this team," Garnett said. "We have a very competitive group, a young team, and you know, sometimes that's not the easiest thing to do.
"You have teaching, and you only have so much time to get certain things in, implemented in your system and certain things, man, it's not easy. But he's done a very good job of being headstrong and being very vocal and being up front with a lot of guys, and I think in return ... it's gotten his respect."
