Flip Saunders, the longtime NBA coach who until a few days ago was slated to coach the Minnesota Timberwolves this season, has suddenly passed away at the age of 60. This is what the media reported on Saunders days ago:
" Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in June, Saunders has been hospitalized since early September. "
Saunders has previously coached for Washington and Detroit and is survived by his wife and four children.
