The firing of Randy Wittman is just another tidbit to the Minnesota Timberwolves Saga. Getting rid of Wittman will not solve the problems. Even though Wittman's record as an NBA head coach is not impressive, coaches do not win or lose basketball games; players do.
Kevin McHale is now the interim head coach; he also no longer the VP of Basketball operations. McHale's other stint as interim head coach was fairly successful; The TimberWolves went 19-12 with McHale as coach.
Although many fans blame McHale for the Timberwolves woes, the real culprit is Owner Glen Taylor. It is safe to say that if Glen Taylor ran is envelope company like he runs his Minnesota Timberwolves, he would not be able to afford the ultimate rich boy's toy, a professional sports team. It was Taylor's decision to break NBA rules that really hurt the his team. Losing all those first round draft picks hurt the Timberwolves chances of turning the corner and becoming a top level franchise.
