Timberwolves Finally Fire Rambis!

This decision took a while coming but when it finally came...no one was surprised.

Kurt Rambis, who went 32-132 in 2 seasons as the Minnesota T'wolves coach, was finally fired.

Wolves GM David Kahn apologized to fans over the length of time it took to come to a decision, choosing to put the burden on himself.


But what was evident to many was the deteriorating relationship and communication lines between GM and coach, as Kahn advocated a run-and-gun offense while Rambis was a disciple of Phil Jackson's triangle offense.

The arrival of Ricky Rubio, an exciting playmaker, may have helped Kahn close the door on Rambis, as the young Spaniard's game would be hampered by the structured triangle offense.

The search for a new Wolves coach is also hampered by the ongoing NBA lockout.
