Minnesota Timberwolves coach

The team's head coach is Chris Finch. Chris began his playing career in England with the Sheffield Forgers of the then-second-tier British basketball league, the National Basketball League, on November 6, 1969. Chris and Sheffield were promoted to the British Basketball League's first-tier prior to the 1994–95 season.

He graduated from Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1992, after being an NCAA Division III All-American in 1991 and 1992. Before joining the club, Chris was an assistant coach for the Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans, and Toronto Raptors.

Minnesota Timberwolves stadium

Target Center is where the team's games are held. The multi-purpose Minnesota Timberwolves arena is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Opening in 1990, it hosts crucial family shows, concerts, sports, graduations and private functions.

Glen Taylor has been the sole owner of the club since 1994. Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez agreed to a $1.5 billion deal to buy the Timberwolves (and Minnesota Lynx) that begins with a 20 per cent stake in ownership and can increase to 40 per cent in 2022, and 80 per cent in 2023.

Rodriguez is one of the most famous MLB players in history, and Lore is a businessman who served as Walmart's CEO of e-commerce and co-founder of Jet.com, which Walmart purchased for $3.3 billion in 2016.

Tim Connelly agreed to a five-year deal worth more than $40 million that includes ownership equity to oversee the club's basketball operations in mid-2022.

''Crunch the Wolf'' is the Minnesota Timberwolves' mascot. The basketball club's logos are associated with its mascot. They also include the club's full name, which was written in different fonts at different times.

The current 2017 logo features a basketball image. Because it serves as the backdrop for the howling Wolf, it is associated with the night sky. Furthermore, the ball's intersecting lines form a four-pointed green star.

The dark ring that frames the drawing merges with Wolf's head. The club's name is written at the top of the impromptu frame. The font is white, angular, and sans serif.

Minnesota Timberwolves championships

The club has never won an NBA Final. The closest they came to winning a championship was in 2004, when they lost the Western Conference Finals.
