Karl-Anthony Towns tells WCCO previous staff culture was a 'slap in the face'
Towns说之前Thibodeau执教方式：像是往球员脸上打耳光
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清楚提到了锡伯杜执教时期的灰狼，同时也谈他对年轻球员发展受阻的感受
“(锡伯杜执教方式)这是对他们发展的不尊重，就是往他们脸上打一记耳光，你知道
，我想确保他们的发展不仅仅是作为球员，而且还是作为人类和男人。你知道，这就是我
们要做的。在明尼苏达，最重要的事情之一就是，我们必须确保我们的文化不仅仅是建立
在篮球的基础上。这是一个家庭氛围。我们在这里所做的每件事都是为了能够拥有一个大
家庭。一个大家庭做后盾和一个大家庭的思考过程。塑造人们的个性、性格，让他们更多
地展现自己。这里并不仅仅只有篮球。”
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."
谈到球队现任主教练小桑时，Towns说道：“我觉得这（选择小桑当主帅）是很简单的
事情。你知道的，他拥有作为教练、激励者和交流者的天赋。我认为他就是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.
谈到灰狼的管理层，Towns表示：“我认为我非常幸运，球队拥有一个很棒的管理层。从
天赋、经验和文化的角度来看，我们认为我们现在或许拥有最棒的教练组。我们在这里建
立的文化很特别，所以我很开心，我很开心现在我们向Culver和Noel介绍队里所拥有的
文化。你知道，我不认为以前的情况会对他们很有利。”
