Coach Frank and Lance do their first ever post game podcast as the Minnesota Timberwolves did what Coach Frank (and Perk) predicted they could do- win game 7 in Denver. Listen to The Coach & The Culture podcast duo recap the game, reiterate their stance on Jaden McDaniels, talk about the Wolves’ second hall defense, and how staying true to their “winning style” got them back in the game and ultimately prevailed. The duo closes the episode with their thoughts on the upcoming matchup with the Mavericks. Listen to why Coach Frank says Wolves in 6 and Lance says Wolves in 5. Both, however, agree that if this version of Jaden McDaniels shows up, Dallas doesn’t have a chance.

In this latest installment of The Coach & The Culture podcast, Coach Frank and Lance discuss the Wolves suffocating defense so far in the Nuggets series so far. They talk about how the Wolves have pressured the execution out of Denver and, perhaps even more important, are controlling the psyche of the defending champs.
Coach Frank talks about how a MN championship playing this style could create a shift in basketball style and philosophy, from youth to pro, not seen since the Steph, Klay, KD Warriors.
Coach Frank explains how Denver may have tipped their hand in game 2, giving Coach Finch an advantage in the game 3 chess match. Lance explains why he thinks it doesn't matter what Denver tries.

Coach Frank and Lance are back with their first podcast recording in over a month. Coach Frank has been busy hosting the hottest Thursday night open MIC jam in the Twin Cities and Lance has been busy welcoming his first child in the world. The Wolves? Well, they were busy burning out the Phoenix Suns and their offensive stars and now they prepare to dig in on the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
Listen in as Coach Frank and Lance discuss how the Wolves defense and playing style could be seen coming from as early as last April and what that style did so effectively against Phoenix. Jaden finally put up that 15-5 (okay 14-5) the duo has been pining for all year. Ant and KAT committed to ball movement and Rudy can guard guards. NAW can guard EVERYBODY.
Frank and Lance close the show discussing how all the above stacks up against the champs and they boldly make predictions on the series.

Recorded Sunday February 11th, the latest episode of The Coach & The Culture Timberwolves centric podcast finds Coach Frank and Lance Gardner recapping the tilts against the Rockets, Bulls, and Bucks. The conversation is centered around the contrasts between when the Wolves play well, like they did against the Rockets and Bucks and, when they lose intensity and focus like they did in the second half against the Bulls. The conversation shifts to a Chris Finch and his ability to manage teams throughout his Timberwolves coaching tenure. They always seem to yo-yo back up after a tough loss or tough stretch. The show the rehashes last episode’s conversation about play-calling and how Coach Finch is doing much more of it but it’s still on the players to execute. The episode concludes with the return of our “Concerning Trends & Hope it Never Ends” segment, as well as a look-ahead at the rest of the road trip and the 7 game home stand followed by a 6 game road trip coming out of the All-Star break.

Recorded on February 4th 2024, the latest episode of “The Coach & The Culture” Timberwolves centric podcast, Coach Frank and Lance give their take on the week that was and yet another 4th quarter stall for the Timberwolves offense. A week that began with a gutsy win over the Thunder in Oklahoma City ended with a disappointing late game collapse at home against the Orlando Magic. Coach Frank and Lance talk about the determine factors in the two games being the excellent play of Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels in the 4th at OKC and the glaring mistakes the duo made in the loss against Orlando. The bottom line is the Timberwolves late game success hinges on the maturity and decision making of the kids. Coach Frank breaks down some of the late game decisions by Ant and Jaden on both ends of the floor. He then shares some Chris Finch comments, via Dane Moore, that suggest the coach is fed up with the ball hogging and defensive lapses and, now that the mid season awards have been handed out, the coach may be making some changes. Lance points out how the “continuity” period that may have allowed the Wolves to get off to such a great start is over and the Wolves had better adjust. The West is tightening up in a hurry.

Coach Frank gives an honest assessment on Ant vs Shai and Devin Booker in the Western Conference battle for young guard supremacy. Coach Frank then goes on a strong defense of Coach Finch. He talks about the players role in their struggles and why Coach Finch is actually putting them in position to succeed night in and night out.

Title: 1st and Finally (home) Defeated Recorded Sunday Nov 26th, Coach Frank And Lance talk about the Wolves weeks that was. Victories over New York, a no JoJo Philly squad and the injured and suspended Memphis Grizz cushion the blow of a first home loss against the Sacramento Kings. Within all the positives Coach Frank and Lance discuss at length how the Wolves being 4th from the bottom of the NBA in offensive rebounds allowed and turnovers per game is still a concerning trend for the hometown team. This in addition to Shake Milton’s struggles. On the positive, however, despite these issues they are still in 1st place, Troy Brown Jr is emerging, and Ant, KAT and Finch have been solving the riddles opponents have been throwing at them. The podcast ends with a dose of reality about the upcoming schedule and why the Wolves hot start will bear sweet fruit as a bitter 16 game stretch approaches.

Recorded Sunday Nov 19, at The Dream Shop, Coach Frank and Lance Gardner review the Wolves 4 road games from the previous week. Beginning with a two game series in the Bay Area against Golden State the duo discuss how while the Wolves played two different Warriors teams, the energy needed to beat the Warriors twice was equally mentally and physically taxing in both. The duo then discuss how (and why) Chris Finch was clearly not allowing his obviously gassed group to make excuses on the second half of a back to back against a rested and ready Phoenix Suns squad. Coach Frank also explains why Devin Booker might just be Anthony Edwards kryptonite. Next, the discussion moves to the gutsy win against the New Orleans Pelicans and why that was the latest “most impressive” win of the season- as well as why winning against short handed or disadvantaged teams is so important this season. Last, Coach Frank and Lance revisit last episodes “concerning trends” and things they “hope never ends”.
Turn us on for a great Timberwolves hoops listen. Then gives us some feedback on ‘X’ (Twitter), Facebook, or IG.

Recorded Sunday Nov 5th at The Dream Shop:
Coach Frank is once again joined by Lance Gardner of Yes!Trees tree trim and removal as they discuss last week’s trio of games. They toggle between the good and the bad about games vs Atlanta, Denver and Utah. Then the episode settles into a conversation about Ant’s challenges in learning how to play winning, 5 v 5, high stakes basketball. The conversation then switches to the duo’s thoughts about fan (X) criticism of Coach Finch. Along with their takes on Finch, the conversation slides into how the Wolves head man has adapted his “preferred” style of play to his current roster and how the Wolves best path to winning basketball is to continue to play boring and bludgeoning on offense and suffocating on defense. Lance and Coach Frank end the conversation with some things to watch for in the upcoming week’s tilts against Boston, New Orleans and “The Alien” led Spurs. Always nice to have Lance back. Listen in to fun basketball conversation between father and son in the Dream Shop. The Coach & The Culture podcast is available on Apple, Spotify, Audible, ITunes and more. We will also have video available on YouTube this week.
