A lot has changed since Tom Thibodeau was last a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Thibodeau began his NBA coaching career with the expansion franchise in 1989, serving as an assistant under Bill Musselman. Fast forward 27 years and the 58-year-old is reportedly finalizing a five-year deal to become the Timberwolves' head coach and president.

Thibodeau didn't stick with the Timberwolves long during his first go around. He joined the Seattle SuperSonics in 1991 as an advanced scout, and landed his first head coaching gig with the Chicago Bulls in 2010.
