Timberwolves coach Saunders dies at age 60 Sun Oct 25, 2015 - Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations and head coach Flip Saunders has died at the age of 60 after a battle with cancer, the National Basketball Association (NBA) team said on Sunday.
While I am not a big NBA fan anymore, I have to say that Minnesota is greatly saddened by the loss of this genuinely good man. He loved the team and the entire community. He always exemplified what pro sports is or should always be about and his loss is irreplaceable.
