Wolves Relieve Head Coach Randy Wittman

灰狼火了教頭Randy Wittman

December 8, 2008
 
The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced that the team has relieved head coach Randy Wittman of his coaching duties. Kevin McHale will take over the head coaching responsibilities of the team on a full-time basis from this point forward. McHale, who has served as vice president of basketball operations since May 11, 1995, will step down from that role with the team in order to concentrate on his coaching duties.

灰狼在今天宣布他們火掉了教練Randy Wittman的職務，腦殘的McFail再度接管了教練一職。

The Timberwolves will hold a press conference today with owner Glen Taylor and head coach Kevin McHale starting at 2 p.m. in the Timberwolves Media Room at Target Center. Media should enter Target Center at the corner of 2nd Ave. and 6th St. There will be no media availability after practice today.

灰狼的壓力鍋終於爆開，老闆Glen Taylor覺得他已經快被氣到腦溢血，但他居然還沒火掉一樣早就要滾蛋的──腦殘的McFail！

This will be McHale's second stint as an NBA head coach, the first coming on an interim basis for the final 31 games of the 2004-05 season. McHale guided the Wolves to a 19-12 record during that stint. He started with the Timberwolves front office in 1993-94 as a special assistant before moving to assistant general manager for the 1994-95 season.

這是腦殘的McFail生涯第二度執教，第一次在04-05年球季末還剩下31場比賽的時候，腦殘的McFail一樣火掉了他的好朋友Flip Saunders，親自下海下火線拯救這支看起來還尚有一絲希望的爛狼。結果腦殘的McFail拿到19勝12負，此年球隊與季後賽無緣，連續8年進入季後賽的紀錄被終止。

Wittman was named head coach of the Timberwolves on Jan. 23, 2007, after taking over for Dwane Casey. In that time, he posted a 38-105 record with the team, including a 4-15 mark this season. Prior to becoming head coach, Wittman spent 10+ seasons in three separate stints as an assistant coach for the Wolves (1994-95 – 1998-99, 2001-02 – 2004-05 and 2006-07). He also served as head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers for two seasons (1999-2000 and 2000-01), compiling a 62-102 record.

Wittman在07年頂上也許沒他那麼無能但戰績仍然一樣糟糕的Dwane Casey，在這段執教時間內，Wittman執教紀錄是難看的38勝105負(靠腰，怎麼會找這種教練？)，會找他過水主要是因為他和腦殘的McFail有著過人的交情。Wittman在灰狼有10年的助理教練經驗，他也在中間跑去過克里夫蘭去當兩季教練過過乾癮，戰績是62勝102負(……)。
