Wolves basketball boss David Kahn last week said he hoped to have a contract offer firmed up with a candidate — Rambis and former NBA point guard and TV analyst Mark Jackson are considered the two finalists — before having him meet with team owner Glen Taylor. Houston assistant coach Elston Turner is considered a third choice.<\/em> Long considered the heir apparent to Phil Jackson on the Lakers bench, the Los Angeles assistant might now be the leading candidate to coach the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/em>
Kahn is believed to have interviewed Rambis and Jackson for a second time in Los Angeles last week. He declined comment Wednesday night and said by text message, “I wouldn’t read anything into the no comment.”<\/em>
It is not known whether Jackson is traveling, or has traveled, to meet with Wolves officials as well. A team spokesman said a news conference hasn’t been scheduled to announce a coach.<\/em><\/div>\n
The Los Angeles Times reported that Rambis was flying to Minnesota Wednesday morning to meet again with the Wolves. He has already had a second interview, but team owner Glen Taylor recently said that he will have to sign off on the hiring of a new coach.<\/em><\/div>\n
