Kurt Rambis Fired
Minneapolis, MN - June 29, 2011
Kurt Rambis has been fired after two season as the Minnesota Timberwolves head coach. Rambis is a former assitant coach under Phil Jackson in Los Angeles where he won multiple championships. Rambis brought his triangle offense to Minnesota and guard Jonny Flynn. The system did not benefit Flynn at all, he also battled injuries, but he struggled to live up to expectations with the very tough system. Rambis was originally reported to be fired a week before the draft, but it was also noted that he wouldn't be officially fired until after the NBA draft. Rambis and Kahn met for six hours to talk about what Rambis would do if he were to remain in Minnesota. However, his persuading combined with his 32-132 record over his two years weren't very good credentials for Kahn to keep Rambis. Expect a new coaching staff along the Wolves bench next year.
Rambis has a stern look on his face in a game with Minnesota.
