Kevin McHale was named Western Conference Coach of the Month for January after leading the Wolves to a 10-4 record one month after they went 2-14.
It's a place McHale never thought he'd be, neither 25 years ago when all three players watched how Red Auerbach built a team nor three months ago.
"When I was really young, Bill Fitch was my coach and at that point, I was very anti-coaching," McHale said, referring to his first NBA coach. "Bill yelled at me, yelled at us all the time. I never really could see myself doing that."
Two days after the Celtics beat the Wolves in Boston without Garnett present, McHale will coach from one bench and Bird will watch from behind the other tonight when the Wolves and Pacers play at Conseco Fieldhouse.
