The Coach & The Culture Podcast

Coach Frank and Lance are back to discuss the 2-2 week that was for our Minnesota Timberwolves. After back to back losses vs the suddenly pesky Trailblazers the Wolves right the ship a little with wins against the short handed Kings and the even shorter handed Phoenix Suns. The Wolves season long bugaboo of turnovers and lackluster energy did them in during their first in-season tournament game in Portland. Coach Frank has plenty to say about that. Then Lance chimes in with another Wolves nemesis, blowing big leads, as he tells us why the Sacramento win wasn't as impressive as it should have been on the surface. We complete the episode with some Jaden, Mike, and Donte talk as well as the return of our "Concerning trends and hope it never ends" segment.

Consistency is a beautiful thing! The latest episode (our 3rd Tuesday release in a row) of The Coach & The Culture Timberwolves centric podcast has Coach Frank and Yes!Trees Lance discussing the 3-1 week that was for our MN Timberwolves. The duo recap wins over Charlotte, Chicago and Portland with some spotlight conversation on electric performances by Ant and steady work by Julius and Rudy. Then the conversation gets to the Miami game and all the ugly inconsistencies that haunt the Wolves resurfaced in the disappointing loss. Intensity, turnovers, execution and decision making- in short, maturity- always seem to be the theme when the Wolves lose. The defense is, mostly, improving however and just in time because tougher opponents are on the horizon after a back to back with the in Rip City. Give us a listen and enjoy Timberwolves analysis and discussion like only a coach and his player son can give.

Oh boy! On this latest episode of the Coach and the Culture podcast, recorded Nov 4 (before the Wolves v Hornets) Coach Frank and Lance break down last weeks 1-2 record and overall 3-3 record with the most Coach and Culture rant ever. Trigger warning: If you believe Ant is untouchable for criticism you may want to find your zen place before listening to this episode. This week's talk centers around the Wolves inability to consistently play clean basketball. A volatility led by Ant's lack of culture setting when it comes to doing the "winning things" and Jaden's struggles on offense marooning his defense. On the positive side, the duo talk about how good NAW has been, how steady Randall has been, and the reality that this team is so talented it can sleepwalk to a.500 record- which they've basically done in these first 6 games. This conversation is animated, passionate and informative for any listener interested in how Coach's set the ground rules but players, specifically elite players, lead the "culture" of a team.

The Coach and The Culture podcast is back for week one of the season. Coach Frank and Lance talk Timberwolves hoops father and son style. In our latest episode we talk about the season's first 3 games. The team is still trying to find its groove on both ends of the court and in true midseason form, the conversation is heavy on "the kids" (Ant and Jaden). Julius Randle is doing Julius Randle things after a passive season debut and Rudy is doing Rudy things- continuing to be the reliable anchor on defense. Coach Frank and Lance talk about these topics and more on the latest episode of The Coach and The Culture podcast. Enjoy our Timberwolves talk and feel free to share your thoughts.

Thank you for listening to The Coach & The Culture (MN Timberwolves Podcast)

It’s been quite a while since The Coach & The Culture Timberwolves centric podcast checked in. The Wolves WCF defeat was just too much to stomach so we went in to summer hibernation. Ok, just kidding. But, it had been a few months since our last recording. So this one is FULL. Listen in as Coach Frank and Lance revisit the Western Conference Finals, talk about the Wolves summer moves and summer league, and finish the podcast with some Olympic Ant and Napheesa Collier talk as well as a few overalll Lynx thoughts. It’s good to be back at it. Give us a listen on Apple, Spotify, Audible and more and send us your thoughts. @coachculture22 on ‘X’ @coachcultureMPLS on Instagram.

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. 

Check out the latest Coach & The Culture podcast on all your favorite streaming platforms. 

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. 

Send us your thoughts!

Who will stand atop the west? Frank and Lance are back from their two week hiatus, and boy do they ever have a lot to talk about! Kat's injury, Rudy's bumps and bruises, and the ins and outs of other role players. Through all the unfortunate injuries, the Timberwolves are still finding ways to win games. Due in big part to Anthony Edwards dominance and growth as a decision maker. They also discuss the surge of Naz Reid's performances since receiving KAT's minutes and NAW being a key contributor toward the team's continued success. Listen in as they break down the Wolves' adaption to their latest challenges! Listen on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Check out our X: @coachculture22 Instagram: @coachculturempls
