From Jon Krawczynski\/AP Sports: <\/a><\/p>\n Timberwolves president David Kahn is in the process of deciding between Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis, ESPN analyst Mark Jackson and Houston assistant Elston Turner.<\/em><\/p>\n Rambis is the most experienced of the bunch. He coached the Lakers in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season and has filled in several times for Phil Jackson.<\/em><\/div>\n
For those who aren’t “name” coaches, like Rambis, working for a name coach is often the next best thing. And there isn’t a bigger pooh-bah in the NBA than Mr. X, Phil Jackson. Not only was Rambis part of the Lakers’ dynasties of the 1980s as a player, but he’s been with the organization throughout for its four titles in the 2000s under Zen Master Jackson.<\/em>
So when it comes to selling future success to the Minnesota masses, Rambis knows what it feels like to sip champagne inside the winner’s locker room in June. Jackson and Turner don’t.<\/em><\/div>\n
