Karl-Anthony Towns tells WCCO previous staff culture was a 'slap in the face'
Towns說之前Thibodeau執教方式：像是往球員臉上打耳光
While clearly referencing the Tom Thibodeau lead Timberwolves, Towns talked
about how he felt it held back the development of the players.
"And that's a disrespect and a slap in the face to their development, you
know, and I want to make sure that they develop not only as players, but as
human beings and as men. And, uh, you know, that's what we're here to do. And
in Minnesota, the thing, one of the biggest things where Ryan and with me is
like, we have to make sure our culture is not based on just basketball. This
is a family atmosphere. Everything we do here in Minnesota has to be able to
have a family. A family backing and a family thought process. And building
people's personalities, characters and showing them more of themselves. And
you're more than basketball."
Towns清楚提到了錫伯杜執教時期的灰狼，同時也談他對年輕球員發展受阻的感受
“(錫伯杜執教方式)這是對他們發展的不尊重，就是往他們臉上打一記耳光，你知道
，我想確保他們的發展不僅僅是作為球員，而且還是作為人類和男人。你知道，這就是我
們要做的。在明尼蘇達，最重要的事情之一就是，我們必須確保我們的文化不僅僅是建立
在籃球的基礎上。這是一個家庭氛圍。我們在這裡所做的每件事都是為了能夠擁有一個大
家庭。一個大家庭做後盾和一個大家庭的思考過程。塑造人們的個性、性格，讓他們更多
地展現自己。這裡並不僅僅只有籃球。”
When talking about Saunders, Towns had high praise for the young coach.
"I felt it was more of a no-brainer", said Towns. "You know, the talent he
possesses as a coach and as a motivator and as a communicator. I think he's
the best communicator in all the NBA."
談到球隊現任主教練小桑時，Towns說道：“我覺得這（選擇小桑當主帥）是很簡單的
事情。你知道的，他擁有作為教練、激勵者和交流者的天賦。我認為他就是NBA最好的交
流者。”
"I think that I'm very blessed that I have a great front office. I have a
great coaching staff," Towns told WCCO's Cory Hepola during a live interview
at his summer camp. "We think we have the best coaching staff possibly in
the game right now from a talent, experience and just culture standpoint. And
the culture we're building here is something special. So I'm a very happy.
I'm very glad now we're introducing Culver and Noel to a culture that we
possess now. You know, I don't think the situation before it would've been
very beneficial for them.
談到灰狼的管理層，Towns表示：“我認為我非常幸運，球隊擁有一個很棒的管理層。從
天賦、經驗和文化的角度來看，我們認為我們現在或許擁有最棒的教練組。我們在這裡建
立的文化很特別，所以我很開心，我很開心現在我們向Culver和Noel介紹隊裡所擁有的
文化。你知道，我不認為以前的情況會對他們很有利。”
