"Larry Brown's interview on Wednesday with Minnesota owner Glen Taylor will complete one of the longest coaching searches within recent memory.

Of course, there's really no hurry for the Timberwolves' braintrust — and I use that term loosely — to speed to a hasty decision. Because of the lockout, they are still likely several months away from the start of the season.

Still, it would show that Taylor and general manager David Kahn are determined to set the course for their franchise if they had a coach in place.

And it will be a tough decision. Brown is a Hall of Famer and candidates with his credentials don't materialize every day."
