We lose great people everyday from this world and we are reminded of that today as Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders passed away at the age of 60.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have named Sam Mitchell as an assistant on coach Flip Saunders' staff.
Mitchell played for the Timberwolves in 10 seasons, including seven years during Saunders' first stint as coach of the team.
