Wolves to Announce New Head of Basketball Operations<\/em><\/p>\n

The Timberwolves will host a press conference tomorrow at 12:00 pm to announce the new head of the Wolves’ basketball operations department.<\/em><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From Britt Robson\/On The Ball:<\/a><\/div>\n
Nevertheless, there’s no sense in being totally down and negative about Kahn until we see what he can do. I’m going to the press conference this Friday noon mostly just to get a feeling for the guy. I’m thinking that what owner Glen Taylor has to say for himself will be the more informative “news” of the day. Will Kahn have the ability to determine the fate of his personnel guy and his coach? If so, why didn’t Lindsey or Penn take the job? Taylor must know that his franchise is fostering a reputation for dysfunction, and his frequent contradictory statements about whether or not Kevin McHale can determine his own future with the ballclub, and whether the Hoiberg\/Stack\/Babcock crew who have been evaluating talent all these months under the much-hyped blueprint are going to be around to provide input when the Wolves utilize a bevy of draft picks in just a few short weeks. I am all for autonomy for someone from outside the organization. But if those truly were the conditions clear to Lindsey and Penn\u00a0 during negotiations, why couldn’t Taylor cinch a deal?<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Jeff Barker\/Baltimore Sun <\/a>on Maryland guard Greivis Vasquez:<\/div>\n
He said he is scheduled to work out with the Minnesota Timberwolves soon and attend a pre-draft camp in Chicago.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From Mike Jones\/Washington Times:<\/a><\/div>\n
Flip Saunders and the Wizards have officially come to agreements with both Randy Wittman and Sam Cassell to be members of his coaching staff.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Randy and Sam will be excellent additions to our coaching staff, and both will be instrumental in helping us achieve our goals,\u201d Saunders said in a press releasae. \u201cRandy brings a wealth of experience as a former head coach of two different teams and is very familiar with my system. I always regarded Sam as a coach on the floor during his playing days, and he brings instant credibility as a three-time NBA champion and a proven winner.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
