Wolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders said he’ll conduct an “extensive” search to replace Rick Adelman after consulting with owner Glen Taylor.
Saunders said he’s seeking someone who will bring an offensive identity to the team like Adelman did and someone with “a track record” but didn’t say that necessarily means NBA head-coaching experience.
List of candidates includes Iowa State’s Fred Hoiberg, Michigan State’s Tom Izzo, television analyst Jeff Van Gundy as well as proven NBA head coaches George Karl, Lionel Hollins, Stan Van Gundy, Sam Mitchell and possibly former New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson.
ESPN reported the Wolves have interest in Florida coach Billy Donovan.
