Kevin McHale will not be the Head Coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves next year. That’s no surprise, since McHale did not seem like he really wanted to continue coaching anyway.

The news that McHale was being fired was not broken by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the AP, or even ESPN. The intrepid young reporter who beat everyone else to the story….20 year old rookie power forward Kevin Love.

From ESPN:

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love said on Twitter that Kevin McHale will not return as coach next season.

In an update posted early Wednesday, Love tweeted, “Today is a sad day … Kevin McHale will NOT be back as head coach this season.”

About an hour after his initial posting, Love appeared to express some regret about making McHale’s correspondence public.

“P.S. I am not a breaking news guy…” Love tweeted. “I had no idea no one knew..I’ll tell them I stayed at a holiday inn express (sic) last night. Always works….”

    About Me

    When I was fifteen, my baseball coach condemned me to a stands-bound life. "Graham, you're a pretty good fielder," he said. "But unfortunately it's easier to teach kids how to field than it is to show them how to hit." Stung by this unceremonious end to my baseball career, I trained my crosshairs on his breed. Over time, I have come to realize that he isn't unique, American sports are full of coaches just like him....

    Recently, I have written weekly Yankee columns for the Bronx News Network blog, and articles for the Norwood News, a Bronx newspaper, as well as Sumter, SC's newspaper, The Item. I am currently a Master's candidate at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.

    Great Fiction

    It’s not written by me, but I like it a lot.
