Timberwolves Film Room: Chris Finch’s Offensive Outlook Share this story Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports At some point, Minnesota Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas needed to usher his front office contingent and the entire on-court squad down the fire escape and flee from the inferno that was raging on throughout Ryan Saunders’ tenure as head coach. Of course, Rosas himself was responsible for some of the misplaced kindling, maybe even the sparked match as well, but Rosas was always going to sacrifice his head coach first before voluntarily putting himself on the chopping block. Now, the task of fighting this fire is placed on the shoulders of new sideline figurehead Chris Finch. It’s unjust to judge Finch completely on four games in his first week as a head coach, especially with his D’Angelo Russell recovering from knee surgery and Malik Beasley sidelined due to suspension, but the 51-year-old has accrued a multi-year sample size during his previous stops in the NBA. In particular, his most recent roles as an offensive coordinator and assistant with the Denver Nuggets, New Orleans and Toronto Raptors.
