Tom Thibodeau on building the T'Wolves and his time off - a podcast by USA TODAY

Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau joins Sam Amick to talk about his new team. They discuss how talented the young T'Wolves are, led by Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins and the outlook for their development. The coach tells Sam that he has mapped out the entire season's worth of practices and days off. A notorious workaholic and hard-driving coach, Thibodeau has apparently mellowed since his days in Chicago. They talk about what the coach did in his year off and how that helped him in this new season. Later in the show, Sam catches up with Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns to talk about how things have changed for the team since Thibodeau's arrival.
