The Minnesota Timberwolves coaching staff is one of many assets the team takes into the playoffs. The Timberwolves face Phoenix in the first round. Head coach Chris Finch is a strong contender for the NBA Coach of the Year award after steering the Timberwolves to a 56-26 record that was the second-best in franchise history.

With the staff lined up on both sides, head coach Chris Finch walks calmly through the tunnel for fist bumps as the rest of the assistants let loose. Former quality control coach Nathan Bubes, who’s now with the G League affiliate in Iowa, was originally responsible for the ruckus. He’d follow Finch through the good-natured gauntlet while encouraging a friendly-but-firm smack from his colleagues.
“They’ve been really detailed on what we need to do in order to accomplish things,” veteran point guard Mike Conley said. “They put it on the table, and we all know what we need to do.”“We all know we have jobs to do. What I appreciate is the way it is divvied up. We sit in a meeting sometimes, and there’s 15 people in there. I mean, come on now,” said Turner, who previously worked with Finch in Houston. “Everybody has something to do.
Nori is the basketball equivalent of a bench coach in baseball, Finch’s confidant who helps keep the entire operation light — and moving. Turner takes the lead on defensive strategy. Pablo Prigioni is essentially the offensive coordinator, directing Finch’s free-flowing system. Kevin Hanson, Corliss Williamson, Joe Boylan and a host of others round out the group.
