After serving as the defensive coordinator during the veteran-laden Lakers' run to the franchise's 15th NBA title last season, Rambis inherited a Wolves roster with 11 players under the age of 26.

"You can tell that he's learned under the right coach in Phil," guard Ramon Sessions said. "He knows exactly what he wants to get done, and he knows how to get it done. He's a lot calmer than the other guys I've played for. He seems like he's been doing it for a long time."

Tinges of Jackson are already showing up in Rambis, who is incorporating elements of the famed triangle offense into his uptempo game plan. He doesn't yell or scream at a young team that took plenty of lumps last year in a 24-win season.



Minnesota earned a second victory in as many nights by defeating Toronto 98-90 on Friday before a crowd of 5,566 at the Arena in its preseason finale. The Timberwolves overcame an early 18-4 deficit, the absences of starting post players Kevin Love (hand) and Al Jefferson (flu) and a 27-point, 14-rebound effort by Raptors All-Star Chris Bosh to earn consecutive wins for the first time under new head coach Kurt Rambis.

"It's very, every encouraging," said Rambis, a former Lakers assistant. "The last two ballgames we're extending the minutes where we're playing good defense, we're extending the minutes where we're playing good offense in terms of execution and moving the ball and doing the proper things. Guys are playing together and they're understanding what we're trying to get across."



Utah Flash announced today the hiring of Mark Madsen as an assistant coach. Madsen fills the vacancy left by Dale Osbourne who took a position with the Oklahoma City Thunder and their NBA D-League affiliate the Tulsa 66ers.

"I am very excited about joining the Utah Flash organization," Madsen said. "Not only for opportunity to assist Head Coach Brad Jones and the learn the Utah Jazz system, but also to share my knowledge and experience with the players."
