"As a president, you're looking at the longer view. As a coach, you're looking more at today, short-term. We have checks and balances in place to make sure we're making good, solid decisions and hopefully we can move this team forward into becoming a championship team."
With both titles, he's forced to think about the long-term too, which should prevent some of the things people have been concerned about.

How does thibs match up with the current Wolves roster?
1) You need to have a good understanding where guys like to get the ball, who has a good matchup, what’s going on in the game and keep the team organized and I think Ricky’s really strong in those areas.
2) As for Wiggins, I think the challenge — not only him but for his teammates — is there’s going to have to be dramatic improvement defensively. You have to make a commitment in that area.
3) As for Towns, There’s obviously room for growth. But his skill set is very unusual. He has the potential to be very good defensively, with his rebounding, his shot blocking.
This may not work. The personalities may not mesh. Thibs's practices could grind Andrew Wiggins into dust. But the "buzzworthy" label never guaranteed a hit. It just meant we all should pay attention.
What do you think about that Klomp? Certianly there can be nothing there that is not accurate.
