On Sunday night the Minnesota Timberwolves said so long to coach Tom Thibodeau.
He was two and a half seasons into a five-year deal. Yep, halfway through this season, and abruptly after a T-Wolves win, owner Glen Taylor dropped the bomb.
Surprised that it happened? Not so much. Surprised about when it happened? You betcha. The news caught a lot of folks off-guard.
We sat down with Dave Schwartz to talk about all the pressing basketball issues, like is it Tibs or Thibs? And does it even matter anymore? How much of a role did the Jimmy Butler debacle play in Taylor’s decision? And what can we expect from Ryan Saunders?
All that and what Dave would do if he still had millions left on a contract with no job to go to.
