The Country Club is closed.
Since removing the Interim tag from Ryan Saunders’ title, the T-Wolves and new POBO Gersson Rosas have shifted away from the Country Club names this franchise is used to, instead looking outside of the organization.
Adrian Wojnarowski reported today that the Wolves have finalized a deal with David Vanterpool as an Associate Head Coach. Vanterpool spent the last 7 seasons in Portland with the Blazers.
He will run the defense, and thus be tasked with making Andrew Wiggins plays some……… while also playing a big role in Ryan’s development as an NBA Head Coach.
