Timberwolves interview Sixers' assistant Quin Snyder

The Minnesota Timberwolves have interviewed Sixers assistant Quin Snyder for their head coaching position.

Snyder, a former point guard and assistant coach under Mike Krzyzewski at Duke, spent the past season under Doug Collins in Philadelphia and has also interviewed for a position on Mike Brown's Lakers coaching staff.

Snyder, 44, is best known for a turbulent stint at the University of Missouri, where he took the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament in his first four seasons (1999-2000 to 2002-03) but ended up resigning under pressure after a 10-11 in 2005-06.

Snyder then spent three seasons as head coach of the NBA Development League's Austin Toros before joining the Sixers.

Kurt Rambis is stil the head coach in Minnesota but is expected to be fired in the coming days.
