Yesterday, Kevin McHale abandoned his post as Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves and took over for the team’s fired head coach, Randy Wittman, whose record in Minny was 38-105 (woof). This isn’t the first time the GM has jacked a coach’s job. In 2005, he replaced Flip Saunders and posted a respectable 19-12 record in the interim, then expressed no desire to keep Minnesota’s head coaching position (a.k.a. repeated doggy-style ass-rape by the rest of the NBA).

And McHale is only the latest GM to move in on the coach’s slot (pause) when the previous sideline stalker got axed.
