Wolves Updates 3/26

Stop-n-Pop/Canis Hoopus posts pics that possibly illustrate why the Sam Mitchell commemorative prints handed out at Sunday’s game appeared to have a misprint.
Stanich’s, with its two locations in the Portland area, has the “best hamburgers in the world,” Love says. But the Minnesota Timberwolves power forward admits that he had to do without the meaty concoctions when his NBA rookie campaign began.

“Definitely my body [has been the biggest challenge],” says the 19-year-old Love. “That’s something that I’m going to have to work on this offseason – getting more lean muscle, cutting off the fat.

“I’ve still got a boy’s body – I’ve always been a little bit bigger. I have to keep running, keep cutting out the fat.”
Foye and Pinckney made a pit stop at practice before the Wildcats left for Boston to play Thursday night’s game. Foye told the Wildcats that he appreciated what they were doing in how they had kept the tournament tradition going. Foye said his senior class passed along leadership lessons that this year’s class is now teaching coach Jay Wright’s team.
Shortly after Foye went to Minnesota, Pinckney left his job as Wright’s assistant to join him with the Timberwolves. Pinckney left his four-year stint with Villanova because he wanted to coach at the NBA level and a shot at reuniting with Foye played a big role in his decision. Pinckney said there “was no doubt” he wanted to be an NBA head coach.

“I think I’m more prepared than ever to do it,” he said. “I feel I’m fully prepared.”
The Timberwolves have gone through a few coaches during their five-year playoff drought, but coach/franchise architect Kevin McHale hangs onto his job even as his team completes its fourth consecutive miserable season. That wouldn’t happen anywhere else.
